P/049/2018 Sri. Muhammed T.M,. Ernakulam
The appellant is a commercial consumer under Electrical Section, Vazhakulam having Con. No. 11113 and an occupier of the premises and energy used for running a medical shop. The connection is registered in the name of Sri. Kochubava, Nayathu, South Vazhakulam and the appellant is the occupant of the building at present. It is observed by the RAO wing in its audit report on 31.12.2016 that meter of the premises was sluggish during the period from 11/2014 to 05/2015. Based on the above findings the Assistant Engineer, Electrical Section, Vazhakulam issued a short assessed the appellant for the period from 05/2015 to 03/2017 and issued a bill amounting to Rs. 2,714/-. Aggrieved against this, the appellant filed a complaint before the CGRF (Central Region), Ernakulam. The Forum dismissed the petition vide order No. 158/2017-18 dated 30-06-2018 by holding that the case is not maintainable as the appellant is not a consumer. Against the decisions of the CGRF, the appellant has approached this Authority with this appeal petition. From the analysis done above, this Authority have reached to the conclusion that there is no need to reassess the appellant during the disputed period and hence found the short assessment not to be maintainable. Similarly the CGRF order dated 30-06-2018 is not in order. Considering the above facts, I decide to set aside the short assessment bill amounting to Rs. 2714/- issued to the appellant. Having concluded and decided as above, it is ordered accordingly. The Appeal Petition filed by the appellant is found having merits and is allowed. The order of CGRF, Central Range in Petition No. OP/158/2017-18/dated 30-06-2018 is set aside. No order on costs.
