The registered and corporate office of the Kerala Electrical & Allied Engineering Company Ltd., (KEL), is functioning on rental basis in the 7th floor of the Housing Board Office Complex, Panampilly Nagar, Cochin-36. The appellant having consumer No. 7243 was assigned LT VI B tariff, with a connected load of 10000 watts, under the jurisdiction of Electrical Section, Girinagar. The Regional Audit Officer of the KSEB noticed the anomaly on inspection of Records in 07/2016 and objected classification of the consumer under LT VI B category instead of LT VII A. The respondent changed the tariff from LT VI B to LT VII A commercial and a notice and short assessment bill for Rs.152193/- was issued to the appellant along with a detailed calculation statement. A petition filed under Petition No.128/2016-17 before the CGRF, Ernakulam, by the appellant was dismissed and held that the short assessment bill issued is in order. Aggrieved by this Order, the appellant has submitted the appeal dated 25-04-2017 before this Authority. From the analysis done above and the conclusions arrived at, I take the following decisions. From the conclusions arrived at as detailed above, I am fully convinced that the request of the appellant is reasonable and justifiable. Hence, I decide that the order of the CGRF stands quashed. The short assessment bill amounting to Rs. 1,52,193/- issued to the appellant, by way of commercial tariff, for a period of 2 years, is set aside. The respondent is directed to reassign the tariff of the appellant under LT VI B. Having concluded and decided as above it is ordered accordingly. The Appeal Petition filed by the Consumer is allowed as ordered and stands disposed of as such. No order on costs.

The appellant is running a hotel named Sidhartha at Chalakudy, under the jurisdiction of Electrical Section, Chalakudy having consumer number LCN 3/6330. The tariff assigned is HT IV and the contract demand is 165 kVA. The energy meter of the appellant was changed on 21-07-2015. On 21-01-2016, the CT, panel board and associated equipments were damaged due to short circuit. There was no supply for 3 days and unmetered supply was given to the appellant till commissioning of new CT on 12-02-2016. It is revealed from the data downloaded from the meter, by the TMR, Angamaly, there was one phase voltage (B phase) missing from 24-09-2015 to 12-02-2016 and recommended to review the bills for the above periods. Accordingly, the party was served with a provisional short assessment bill on 17-11-2016, when the meter was found recording less than the actual, so as to recover the unrecorded portion of energy, for Rs. 6,21,788/-. The consumer lodged complaint before the CGRF, Ernakulam, with Petition No. 108/2016-17 and the Forum held that the short assessment bill is in order and allowed 15 installments to remit the amount. Aggrieved by the decision, the appellant has submitted the Appeal petition before this Forum. From the analysis done and the conclusions arrived at, which are detailed above, I take the following decisions. 1. Revise the bill for the period from 24-09-2015 to 12-02-2016 exempting 3 days of interruption during the period, based on the average consumption of March, April and May 2016. 2. Granted 10 monthly instalments without interest, and the 1st installment shall be paid within 30 days of the issue of this order and the respondent shall intimate the ‘installment due dates’ within 10 days of the receipt of this order. Having concluded and decided as above, it is ordered accordingly. The order of CGRF in petition No. 108/2016-17 dated 04-02-2017 is modified to this extent. No order on costs.
