The appellant has a service line to his house from Elamthottam Transformer through a private road. This service line is executed by the Licensee with 5 posts in the year 2011 and the cost of line is borne by the appellant. The last post of this service line was placed in his compound and stay support was also placed in his land. Later, the post has broken and the new pole was installed just beside his compound wall. The neighbour has requested the Licensee to shift the service line from a cross country line arrangement to the private road in which he is also having right to travel and drawing line. The Licensee has executed the line by extending the line from the last post placed in appellant’s property without obtaining consent from him. The OH line was also crossing above his property. The appellant has filed petition to CGRF(Southern Region) and the Forum disposed the case vide order dated 20-05-2022 stating that the action of the respondent is seen sustainable. Then the appellant filed the appeal petition before the Authority and the decision is taken as follows: 1. The appellant’s application to disconnect the recently drawn OH line is disallowed. 2. The line has to be shifted to the other side of the private road, avoiding the property crossing of the appellant at the cost of Licensee.
