The appellant Shri. P.R.Gireeshan is the Director of M/s. Woodys Hotels Pvt. Ltd., who is an HT consumer of Licensee (KSEBL) under their Electrical Section, College which is coming under the Electrical Circle, Ernakulam. Due to the non payment of current charges, the power connection was dismantled on 21/10/2020. The amount of arrear was worked out to Rs. 48,88,047/- and the same has been remitted by the appellant. There is a petition pending in the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala filed by the appellant to reduce the Electricity Duty @ 10 paise per unit instead of 10% of the energy charges. The Government of India has directed the State Government to consider the tourism as Industry and extend some of the benefits enjoyed by the Industry. The Electriciy Duty applicable to the industrial consumer was 10 paise per unit and that of other consumer was @ 10 % of the energy charges. The KSEB was billing with 10% as the Electricity Duty and this has been challenged by the appellant in the High Court. The Hon’ble Court has issued an interim order directing the KSEBL to accept the bill with 10 paise per unit as the duty till the final order. The difference in this duty was worked out Rs.26,10,839/- and this is the disputed amount. The Licensee had dismantled the service connection and not refunded the security deposit. The 50 % of SD was in the form of Bank Guarantee. The Bank Guarantee has already been expired. The Licensee has not released the Bank Guarantee. The appellant filed petition to CGRF and CGRF issued order dated 29/12/2024. Aggrieved with the order of CGRF, this appeal petition is filed to this Authority. |
