The appellant is a three phase industrial consumer having consumer number 19379 with a connected load of 6600 watts under the jurisdiction of Electrical Section, Kundannur. The appellant is running a readymade dress manufacturing unit and his average monthly consumption is 100 to 150 units. He was received an exorbitant bill amounting to Rs. 9,536/- dated 01-11-2016 for the consumption of 1647 units for the month of October 2016. A petition filed under Petition No.136/2016-17 before the CGRF, Ernakulam, by the appellant was dismissed vide order dated 25-03-2017 and held that the short assessment bill issued is in order. Aggrieved by this Order, the appellant has submitted the appeal dated 18-04-2017 before this Authority. The appellant suspected the reason of high consumption recorded may be the inaccuracy of the meter and hence testing of energy meter done. In the testing’s meter was found good. The appellant himself admitted that the capacitor provided by him in the circuit is the reason of the high consumption. From the analysis done and the conclusions arrived at, which are detailed above, I take the following decisions. The order dated 25-03-2017 issued by the CGRF, Central Region, in Petition No. 136/2016-17 is upheld.
