The appellant filed a petition in CGRF, Central Region vide OP No. 91/2020-21 and the Forum in its order dated 24-04-2021, dismissed the petition due to lack of merits and the installment facility allowed. The appellant filed this Appeal Petition before this Authority. The energy meter in the premises of the appellant was tested and found good and its errors are within the limits. The “earth load” in the premises was proved with scientific data received from the energy meter and which is within the premises.

As such, the appellant is liable to remit the bill issued on 22-10-2020.
