The appellant was given two meters for the above consumer numbers for Rs.88,375/- and Rs.35,736/- towards the undercharged amount for the period from 12/2007, following the judgment of Hon’ble Supreme Court. The appellant approached the officers of the Licensee and finally approached CGRF, Southern Region with a petition, requesting to allow the appellant to pay the principal amount only with the facility of instalments. The Forum registered the petition and the Forum vide order dismissed the Petition. The appellant filed this appeal petition before this Authority. The argument of the appellant that, the appellant has never been informed about any short assessment bill since 2007 is not sustainable. In a period of certain petitions and appeal petitions filed by similar institutions were being considered by the Hon’ble Courts, the Licensee cannot issue such bills on the same subject to the appellant. Only on 05-01-2020, KSEB Ltd. decided to issue bills under higher tariff rate to the Self-Financing Educational Institutions except those who availed favourable orders from Hon’ble High Court of Kerala. On the above circumstances, the appellant is liable to remit the amount. In the hearing, the respondent revealed that the benefit of “one time settlement” can be given to the appellant. The appeal petition No: P-041/2021 filed by the appellant stands dismissed. The order dated 30-04-2021 in OP No. 02/2021 of CGRF, Southern Region is upheld.
