The appellant is a Low Tension consumer bearing consumer number 9197 under Electrical Section, Pinarayi, Kannur District. The tariff assigned to this connection is LT VI F and the sanctioned connected load in the premises is 18340 Watts. The appellant had applied for additional connected load of 56 kW for the newly constructed floors of the four storeyed building having the height of 16 metres. The respondent has directed the appellant to construct the internal distribution network, including the service line, transformer, switch gear etc at his cost. So the appellant had approached the Hon’ble CGRF (NR) by filing a petition in OP No. 159/2016-17. The Forum dismissed the petition with a direction that the respondent shall arrange a joint inspection with the petitioner in the premises and expedite the processing of the application for additional load as per Regulation 49 of Kerala Electricity Supply Code, 2014 vide order dated 20-05-2017. Aggrieved against this, the appellant has submitted this appeal petition before this Authority. In this case, it is noted that the appellant is the owner of the High rise building having a LT connection No 9197 and requires additional load, in the extended multi storeyed building having four floors. From the analysis done and the conclusions arrived at I take the following decisions on the reliefs sought above by the appellant. For additional electric load (Power) demanded, the consumer is bound to act as per the Regulations made under Electricity Supply Code, 2014, i.e. under clause 49(4) and 49(5), which requires the installation of an exclusive transformer, in case for a High rise building, irrespective of the load demand. That being a specific rule, the contentions of the appellant does not deserve merit and therefore he is found liable to provide an exclusive transformer for meeting his additional load demand. After obtaining scheme approval from the Electrical Inspectorate and submitting to the respondent, the consumer shall take steps for installing a separate Transformer of suitable capacity and complete other works, for catering the power load for the LT service connections of the High rise building, at his cost. The respondent shall prepare a demand on the estimate cost of work at their end for giving supply to the appellant and serve, at any rate within a period of 7 days from the date of receipt of intimation regarding the scheme approval by the Electrical Inspector and carry out the works on remittance of the estimate cost by the appellant. The respondent shall take proper action to provide the connection without any further delay. Having concluded and decided as above it is ordered accordingly. The order dated 20-05-2017 of CGRF (NR) in OP No. 159/2016-17 is upheld. The Appeal Petition filed by the consumer, Sri. Mambaram Divakaran, is decided as above and stands disposed of. No order on costs.

The consumer is a stone crushing unit registered in the name of Sri. Aboobacker P.J., the appellant. The said service connection was effected on 19-02-2015.The Regional Audit Officer of Kerala State Electricity Board conducted inspection at Electrical Section, Koduvally during the month of November 2016, and noticed an error that the Current Transformer (CT) ratio of the metering circuit is taken as 1 instead of the multiplication factor (MF) 30. On verifying the regular energy bills issued to the consumer, it was found that the bills were issued wrongly taken as MF 1 instead of 30 from 19-02-2015 onwards. Hence a short assessment bill to recover the loss, amounting to Rs. 7,42,715/- was served to the consumer on 09-12-2016. Against this, the consumer had filed a complaint before the CGRF in OP No. 156/2016-17. This was disposed of by allowing 22 monthly equal instalments without any surcharge. Aggrieved by this order, the appellant preferred this appeal before this Authority. From the analysis done and the conclusions arrived at, which are detailed above, I take the following decisions. The order dated 29-04-2017 issued by the CGRF, Kozhikode, in Petition No. 156/2016-17 is upheld. Having concluded and decided as above, it is ordered accordingly. No order on costs.

An electric line was drawn through his property which was effected to give service connection to his neighbour, Reji R, without the consent of appellant. The appellant had submitted an application in Section office for shifting the electric line from his property. An estimate was prepared for shifting the line, but the appellant is not willing to bear the expenditure. Being aggrieved, he filed petition before the CGRF, Kottarakkara in OP No. 355/2017 and not satisfied by its decision dated 19-04-2017 directing the appellant to remit the required shifting charge, the appellant has filed the appeal petition.

In view of the above legal and factual position the respondent is directed to prepare a revised estimate for labour charges for shifting the service line to the route proposed and the appellant shall remit the amount on receiving the demand notice. This shall be done within a period of thirty days on receipt of this order by the respondent. Having concluded and decided as above, it is ordered accordingly.
