The connection is registered in the name of Smt. Neena Titty Harshan. The APTS team, Alappuzha conducted an inspection on 06-02-2018 in the premises of the appellant and found that the CT operated Energy Meter installed in the premises was not recording one phase and 38.02% of actual consumption was not recorded in the meter. On the basis of site mahazar prepared, a short assessment bill amounting to Rs. 6,30,487/- was served on the appellant. Aggrieved by this, the appellant approached the CGRF, Ernakulam with a petition which was disposed of with direction to revise the bill taking the percentage error as 33.33%. Against the above order of the Forum, the appellant filed this appeal before this Authority on 27-07-2018. From the findings and conclusions arrived at as detailed above, I decide to set aside the revised short assessment bill amounting to Rs. 5,13,903/- issued to the appellant. The respondent is directed to revise the bills for the consumption for the period of one year prior to the inspection dated 06-02-2018 by taking an average consumption of 10327 units i.e. the average consumption of 3/2018, 4/2018 and 5/18 for 9120 units, 8700 units and 13160 units respectively. Accordingly the respondent shall raise a bill for the meter faulty period and issue the revised bill to the consumer within fifteen days from the date of receipt of this order. 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. The order of CGRF in 148/2017-18 dated 30-06-2018 is set aside. No order on costs.

Not satisfied with the decision of CGRF, vide OP No. 145/2017-18 dated 30-06-2018, the appellant has submitted the appeal petition before this Authority.

The respondent has failed to take timely action as specified in the provisions in Electricity Act 2003 and Kerala Electricity Supply Code by which it was required to show the arrear amount in the subsequent spot bills continuously and the respondent also had failed to take the correct meter readings of the consumer. Accordingly, I decide to quash the arrear amount for Rs. 1.60.949/-. Having concluded and decided as above, it is ordered accordingly. The Appeal Petition filed by the appellant is found having merits and is allowed. The order of CGRF, Ernakulam in Petition OP No. 145/2017-18 dated 30-06-2018 is set aside. No order on Costs.
