The Appellant is a consumer under Electrical Section, 0ttapalam with Consumer No. 1165339007474. The 3 phase connection was given under LT 7A Tariff for running Hotel and Restaurant named as Hotel Aramana. The APTS, Palakkad inspected the premises of the appellant on 28.05.2018 and found that the energy used in one phase (out of 3 phases) was not recording in the meter. Accordingly a short assessment bill was issued to the appellant for an amount of Rs. 3,59,749/- for the period January 2017 to May 2018. Being aggrieved with the short assessment, the consumer approached the CGRF, Northern Region, with Petition No. 54/2018-19 and the Forum disposed of the petition on 13-11-2018 by quashing the bill amount of Rs.359749/- and also directed the respondent to revise the short assessment by limiting the period of assessment to 12 months. Aggrieved by the decision, the appellant has submitted the Appeal petition before this Authority. From the findings and conclusions arrived at as detailed above, I decide to uphold the decision of the CGRF, Kozhikode. The respondent is directed to revise the short assessment bill by limiting the period of assessment to 12 months prior to the rectification of the metering system. The respondent shall issue a revised bill within a period of 15 days from the date of receipt of this order. Having concluded and decided as above it is ordered accordingly. No order on costs.

The review respondent/appellant is the Managing partner of the M.G. Roller Flour Mill, an SSI Unit conducting flour making unit. The inspecting authorities of TMR Thirumala conducted a field inspection in the review respondent’s/appellant's premises on 02.08.2017 and found that the PT Secondary RY and BY Voltages are low and hence the PT unit was suspected to be faulty and directed him to enhance the contract demand and to replace the PT unit with new PT of accuracy class 0.2 and to change CT with ratio 10/5 A to 15/5 A with accuracy Class 0.2S. The review petitioner has imposed penalty as 50% extra over the prevailing rate applicable both demand and energy for two months during which the appellant failed to replace the faulty metering component, and one month thereafter. The review respondent has challenged the penal bill before Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum in O.P. No. 94/2018 and the CGRF dismissed the petition vide order dated 05-11-2018. Aggrieved by the order of the CGRF, the review respondent/appellant has submitted appeal petition against the orders of CGRF which was admitted in appeal no. 89/2018 and disposed of the appeal by quashing the 50% extra imposed for three months over the prevailing rate applicable both demand and energy charge, vide order dated 27-02-2019. The review petitioner has filed this review petition against the orders of this Authority. In view of the above discussions the review jurisdiction is limited to rectify a mistake or error which is apparent on the face of records and it cannot be used as appellate jurisdiction. So, in view of the fact that the review petitioner has not pointed out anything which escaped the notice of this Authority while disposing the matter earlier, I hold the review petition is not maintainable and hence rejected.

There are three connections with Con No 35451, 34167 and 35450 in the premises owned by the appellant for TKR Metro Residency, Devankulangara, Edappally, Kochi 24. The APTS Ernakulam wing inspected the premises of the appellant on 28-05-2018 and detected unauthorized load of 4558 watts connected to consumer number 35451. A site Makassar was prepared and accordingly a provisional bill dated 01/06/2018 for Rs. 62500/- issued under Section 126 of Electricity Act 2003.

Against the issuance of the bills the appellant approached the Hon'ble High Court of Kerala by filing W.P. (C) No.19827/2018 which was dismissed directing the petitioner to pursue the complaint before the CGRF by making deposit of 50% of the amount of energy bills. According to the direction by the Hon High Court against W. P. C No 19827/2018, the 50% of the disputed bill of Rs 2,58,498 has been remitted by the consumer on 30th June 2018. The meter provided for Con No 35451 was checked and found that a magnetic tamper was recorded. The appellant filed a petition before the CGRF and the CGRF passed an order dated 31.12.2018 stating that the Forum lacks jurisdiction to entertain the complaint against the proceedings under Section 126 of the Electricity Act 2003 in consumer number 35451. Further the Forum made clear that the petitioner/ appellant would be at liberty to file appeal before the Appellate Authority. Thereafter, appellant preferred appeal before the Appellate Authority U/Sec. 127 of the Electricity Act, 2003 relating to consumer No. 35451 for Rs. 2,58,498/-. Aggrieved against the other bill amounts, the appellant has submitted the appeal petition before this Authority. Considering facts of the case, this Authority decide that the order of the CGRF stands upheld. Having concluded and decided as above, it is ordered accordingly.
