P/044/2018 Sri. Narayanan K., Ernakulam
The appellant represents M/s Indus Towers Ltd., a company providing passive infra structure service to telecommunication providers. The consumer number of the appellant’s three phase service connection is 9882 with tariff LT VI F which is coming under the jurisdiction of Electrical Section, Kumili, Idukki. The appellant is paying the current charges regularly without any dues or delay. But the respondent as per the invoice dated 16-08-2017 directed the appellant to remit an amount of Rs. 59192/- being the short assessment based on the findings that the meter was faulty for the period from 08/2016 to 12/2016. An objection against the demand was filed before the Assistant Engineer on 17-11-2017. He rejected the petition without quoting any valid reason or regulations and directed the appellant to remit the short assessed amount. Against the short assessment bill, the appellant had approached the CGRF (CR) Ernakulam by filing a petition No. 130/2017-18. The Forum disposed of the petition directing to revise the bill based on the average of the 3 billing cycles after the meter replacement, vide order dated 19-06-2018. Aggrieved against this, the appellant has submitted this appeal petition before this Authority. From the findings and conclusions arrived at as detailed above, I decide to set aside the short assessment bill amounting to Rs. 59192/- issued to the appellant. The respondent is directed to revise the bills for the period of unrecorded consumption for 10/2016, 11/2016 and up to 16/12/2016 by taking an average consumption of 1122 units i.e. the average consumption of 01/2017, 02/2017 and 03/2017 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 appellant is found having some merits and is allowed to the extent ordered. The order of CGRF, Central Range in Petition No. OP/130/2017-18/dated 19-06-2018 is modified to this extent. No order on costs.
