The appellant approached the Assistant Engineer with a complaint regarding the excess reading of the meter. Accordingly, the respondent verified the correctness of the meter by installing a Check meter in the premises of the appellant. During verification, no variations or discrepancies were noticed in the existing meter. As per the request of the appellant, the meter was further sent for testing at Meter Testing Unit, Pallom on 07-01-2019. The errors were found within permissible limit as per the meter testing report issued by the testing unit. Hence the respondent issued the bill to the appellant and directed to remit the bill amount. Afterwards the appellant filed a petition before the CGRF, Kottrakkara and the Forum dismissed the petition vide order OP No.29/2019 dated 12-06-2019. Against the decision of the Forum, the appellant has filed the Appeal petition before this Authority.

The order dated 12-06-2019 in OP No. 29/2019 of CGRF, Kottarakkara is upheld.

The appellant, Sri. P.K. Abraham has filed an Appeal Petition dated 22-07-2019 before this Authority and stands numbered as P/058/2019. The appeal is against the order dated 20-06-2019 of CGRF, Kottarakkara, in the Petition OP No. 33/2019, filed before it. The premises under survey no.194/6 i.e. a shop no. 11/322 at Kumaranallor Junction on M.C. Road, Perumpaikad Village, Kottayam was owned by appellant. The tenant Mr. Sankaran had obtained power connection in the year 1954 in the premises with consumer number 8150. The power supply was disconnected by the department on 2/6/2014. The appellant alleges that he had remitted an amount of Rs. 8847/- on 10-03-2016 as outstanding arrears of previous consumer while taking a new connection. The appellant secured new power connection under consumer no. 1146356025661. This appellant enjoyed the occupation of the premises from March 2016 to December 2017 until the property was sold to one Mr. MM James. Power bills for that period were paid by the appellant. The contention of the appellant is that he remitted Rs.8847/- as the arrear of his tenant and he has the right to get refund of that amount as per Regulation 40 (3) of the Kerala Electricity Supply Code 2014. From the analysis done above and the conclusions arrived at, this Authority upheld the decision taken by the CGRF, Kottarakkara in OP No.33/2019 dated 20-06-2019. Having concluded and decided as above, it is ordered accordingly. No order on costs.

The Review Petitioner is the respondent in Appeal No. P/022/2019. The review respondent/appellant is a domestic consumer under Electrical Section, Thiruvalla having consumer number 7582. On 20th July 2018, the review respondent/appellant complained the faultiness of the meter and the meter was replaced on 17th December 2018. While being so, the review respondent/appellant was aggrieved with the exorbitant bills issued for the months of 9/2018 & 10/2018, issued by the review petitioner/respondent on 17-11-2018 for Rs. 3,360/- and for the months of 11/2018 & 12-2018 for Rs. 2,605/- by taking the average consumption of 356 units. The lodged complaint before the CGRF, Kottarakkara requesting to waive off the excess charges levied in the said bills. The CGRF had dismissed the petition on the ground that the bills issued by the respondent are in order and the petition is devoid of any merits, vide order no. OP No. 158/2018 dated 22-02-2019. Aggrieved by this, the appeal petition filed by the review respondent/appellant was found having merits and was allowed to the extent it was ordered. Against the order, the review petitioner submitted this review petition stating that there is an error apparent on the face of the orders of Ombudsman and requested to review the order dated 20/05/2019 in Appeal No 022/2019 and to issue a revised order upholding the decision of CGRF. In the review petition nothing is pointed out which escaped the notice of this Authority while disposing the appeal petition. The review petitioner is challenging the decision of this Authority by raising fresh arguments in the review 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. This Authority has 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. If the review petitioner is aggrieved by the order of this Authority, it is free for him to challenge that order before the appropriate upper authority. In this background, this Authority didn’t find any reason to intervene the order already issued. In view of the above discussions, I hold that review petition is not maintainable and hence rejected. Having decided as above, it is ordered accordingly.
