The appellant is a domestic consumer under Electrical Section, Kadappakkada. The appeal is against the order dated 06-09-2019 of CGRF, Southern Region, Kottarakkara in the petition No. 80/2019. The appellant is still aggrieved by the order in not allowing the reliefs prayed by her before the Forum. The grievance of the appellant is as follows. Sri. Sreekumar, brother of the appellant’s husband availed electric connection in a portion of the same house where the appellant is owned and residing, without her consent. There was a case in the Hon: Munsiff Court, Kollam vide OS No. 407/2003 regarding the ownership of land and as per the order, the appellant received 9½ Cents and the younger brother of the appellant’s husband received 4½ Cents of land. Sri. Sreekumar and his wife are residing in two rooms of the building while measuring the land as per the Court Order. The appellant had requested the respondent not to effect another electric connection in the portion of the building, but they effected it. The appellant lodged complaint before the Executive Engineer to disconnect the electric connection, but the Executive Engineer also rejected the appellant’s request. Since an EP is pending for disposal and in the light by the above provision under 22(d) of KSERC Regulations 2005, which restricts the maintainability of the petition filed for the same cause of action and relief, the Appeal Petition filed by the appellant, need no further action at this Authority and hence stands rejected. However, the respondent shall take proper action on disposal of the EA No. 205 in EP No. 18/17 in OS No.427/2003 in the Court of Hon. Principal Munsiff, Kollam.
