P/055/2017 Sri. Shaukathali K., Malappuram
The appellant is an industrial consumer with consumer No. 7279 under Electrical Section, Edavanna having a connected load of 35 kW. The Audit team of Regional Audit Officer, Manjeri conducted an inspection during the month of November 2015 and found that the consumer was issued with undercharged bills from 10/2013 to 08/2015. Accordingly, the appellant was issued with a short assessment bill amounting to Rs. 94,395/- (Rupees Ninety Four Thousand Three Hundred and Ninety Five only). Aggrieved by this, the appellant had approached the Hon’ble CGRF (NR) by filing a petition in OP No. 188/2015-16. The Forum quashed the short assessment bill for Rs. 94,395/- and directed the respondent to issue short assessment bill in compliance to Regulation 134 of KESC 2014 for ToD energy charges, demand charges, electricity duty and meter rent as per the readings recorded in the office register. The respondent had filed a review petition before the CGRF requesting to review the order dated 30-06-2016 issued in OP No. 188/2015-16. It is submitted by the respondent that the Forum erred and failed to see the power factor incentive/disincentive has been introduced by the licensee from 01-09-2013 based on the order of the Regulatory Commission published in Kerala Gazette dated 9th September 2013 and it is constructive notice and hence a separate notice is not mandatory. The Forum allowed the review petition vide order dated 31-03-2017 in review petition No. 05/2016-17. Aggrieved against this, the appellant has submitted this appeal petition before this Authority. From the conclusions arrived at as detailed above, I decide to quash the short assessment bill amounting to Rs. 94,395/- issued to the appellant. The respondent is directed to revise the short assessment bill by deducting the incentive/disincentive from the calculation statement and issue the revised bill to the consumer within fifteen days. Having concluded and decided as above it is ordered accordingly. The appeal petition filed by the consumer is allowed as ordered and stands disposed of as such. The order of CGRF, Kozhikode in OP No. 188/2015-16 dated 30-06-2016 is upheld and the order of CGRF in Review Petition 05/2016-17 in OP No. 188/2015 dated 31-03-2017 is set aside. No order on costs.
