The appellant is the Secretary of Kilimanoor Grama Panchayath. The appellant has requested the Licensee for the installation of 376 new single tube lights at various locations as part of augmentation of the street lighting system and remitted Rs.49,250/- towards the supervision charges. The lights were installed during 2008. The street lights were installed as un metered system. The License had omitted to add the new street lights fittings for the billing. This omission was found out during the audit conducted by Regional Audit Officer on 23/02/2011. Though the mistake of omission in billing was found out during 2011, the demand for the under charged amount was raised only on 29/03/2014. Then a joint inspection was carried out by Panchayath and Licensee and accordingly the bill was revised to Rs.6,11,082/- and issued on 20/02/2015. The appellant contented that the bills were raised after three years of detecting the mistake as such as per 56(2), the demand issued by the Licensee is not valid due to the limitation period of two years. The appellant had filed the petition to CGRF and CGRF issued order dated 10/12/2024, stating that the appellant is liable to pay the amount as per the revised bill.
