The grievance of the appellant is that the respondent issued an exorbitant bill amounting to Rs. 23,119/- on 28-9-2017 for a bimonthly consumption of 2811 units. The appellant filed a petition before the CGRF, Kozhikode with a request to grant 12 equal monthly instalments and the Forum disposed of the petition allowing the petition. The appellant had filed an appeal petition before this Authority with a request to waive the bill amount of Rs. 23,119/-. The appellant was directed to prefer a petition describing his grievances before CGRF by complying with the formalities for filing petition, if he desires so and the CGRF shall consider the same, vide order no. P/09/2018 dated 30-04-2018. On the basis of this order, the appellant submitted another petition before the CGRF, which was dismissed in Petition OP No. 35/2018-19 dated 31-07-2018. The appellant filed appeal petition before this Authority with a request to waive the bill amount of Rs. 23,119/-. This Authority took a decision in the Appeal No. P-074/2018 as follows: “The bill for Rs. 23,119/- is quashed. The respondent is directed to revise the bill for the period from 4-5-2017 to 28-9-2017 by taking the average of the consumption of three billing cycles after 3-11-2017 after deducting the bills already paid during the disputed period. The order of CGRF, Kozhikode vide order no. P/35/2018-19 dated 31-07-2018 is set aside. Having concluded and decided as above, it is ordered accordingly. The Appeal Petition filed by the appellant is found having merits and is allowed. No order on costs.” Against the order, the Review Petitioner submitted the review petition after 1140 days with a request to review the order dated 08-11-2018 in Appeal No. P-074/2018 and to issue a revised order. In the review petition nothing is pointed out further, which escaped from the notice of this Authority while disposing the appeal petition. This Authority had considered all the arguments while disposing the appeal petition. A decision once rendered by a Competent Authority/Court on a matter in issue between the parties after a full enquiry should not be liable to be agitated over again before the same Authority/Court. In this background, this Authority did not find any reason to intervene the order already issued. Hence, it is decided that review petition is not maintainable and hence, rejected.

The grievance of the appellant is that the respondent denied the eligible subsidy to the appellant as ordered by KSE Board Ltd. in the “Lockdown” period of “COVID-19”. The appellant filed a petition before CGRF and the Forum in its order partially allowed the petition. The appellant filed this appeal petition before this Authority. The respondent prepared Covid subsidy, which is the 20% of the difference in average monthly bill arrived at. Since there is no dispute in the electricity bills and the Covid subsidy was computed in accordance with the general guidelines issued by the Licensee, this Authority observed that the Covid subsidy arrived at is correct. It is decided to dismiss the appeal petition filed by the appellant. The order of CGRF, Southern Region, Kottarakkara vide OP No.33/2021 dated 06-09-2021 is upheld.

The premises is a self-financing institution and billing of energy charges was done under LT VIA tariff till 30-11-2007. Afterwards the tariff category of the self-financing institution was changed to LT VIIA tariff category and in continuation the subject went to litigation. The appellant was given a short assessment bill and hence, the appellant filed a petition in CGRF, Northern Region, and as per the order of the Forum order, the respondent issued revised bill. Appellant filed appeal petition before this Authority and the appeal petition was disposed of upholding the decision of CGRF. Still aggrieved by the decision, the review appellant has submitted this review petition with plea to refund/adjust the surcharge amount remitted by the appellant as per the decision of the Ombudsman in appeal petition. The appeal petition P-031/2021 was analyzed by this Authority on the strength of the judgement of Hon’ble Supreme Court of India dated 20-02-2020 in Civil Appeal No.8350/2009 filed by KSEB Ltd. In the review petition, nothing is pointed out which escaped from the notice of this Authority while disposing the appeal petition. The review jurisdiction is limited to rectify a mistake or an error which is apparent on the face of records and it cannot be used as appellate jurisdiction. In this background, this Authority did not find any reason to intervene the order already issued. As such the review petition is not maintainable and hence, rejected.
