The Assistant Engineer, Electrical Section, Manjeshwar had detected that the display of the meter was not visible and could not be able to take meter reading. The Deputy Chief Engineer, Electrical Circle, Kasaragod has directed the appellant to replace the ToD meter with a new 3 phase 4 wire (Class 0.2 S, CTs with CT units of accuracy class 0.2 S and PTs with PT units of accuracy class 0.2) having CT ratio 10/5A and get it tested from TMR Division, Kannur for replacing the same urgently failing which penalty will be imposed as per rules, vide letter dated 26-03-2018. The respondent has imposed penalty for an amount of Rs. 4,75,805/- as 50% extra over the prevailing rate applicable both demand and energy for two months during which the appellant failed to replace the faulty metering component, and one month thereafter. The appellant has challenged the bill and filed an appeal before Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum, Kozhikode as O.P. No. 138/2018-19. The CGRF, Kozhikode, dismissed the petition vide order dated 28-02-2019. From the analysis done above and the conclusions arrived at, the appellant’s plea to waive the 50% extra imposed is rejected and it is ordered that the billing to be done for the entire period of defective metering system from 1-1-2018 to 21-8-2018 based on the average of three months consumption prior to 30-11-2017 in case of energy charge and based on the maximum demand during corresponding month of the previous year, when the meter was functional and recording correctly. Hence average energy charge for the defective period can be calculated taking the energy consumption for 9/2017, 10/2017 and 11/2017. The 50% of the monthly energy charge and demand charge calculated as above shall be realised as excess for 4/2018, 5/2018 and 6/2018 for the non-replacement of the defective metering system within the prescribed period.

The Appellant is running an ice factory under the name and style of M/s Sincere Ice Factory bearing consumer No.5754 under LT-IV A Tariff with a connected load of 37614 watts and contract demand of 38 kVA under Electrical Section, Eranhickal. The registered owner of the connection is Sri. M.P. Chandran. On 01-09-2018, while taking the reading, it was noticed that voltage in one phase was not getting recorded in the meter. Consequently, the premises of the consumer was inspected on 24-09-2018 by a team of KSEB Limited led by the Anti Power Theft Squad (APTS) of Kozhikode unit. A site mahazar was prepared by the Sub Engineer Sri. Illiyas of Electrical Section, Eranhickal. An irregularity of metering was detected as the B phase voltage connection to the energy meter was rusted and as a result the same got disconnected at the taping point and due to this reason B phase voltage was missing at the terminal of the energy meter. So as to compensate revenue loss to the Board for the unrecorded portion of energy, the Assistant Engineer, Electrical Section, Eranhickal, issued short assessment bill by directing the appellant to pay Rs 4,41,504/-. Aggrieved by the short assessment bill, the appellant filed petition before CGRF, Kozhikode requesting to quash the bill. The Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum disposed the OP No.116/2018-19 filed by the appellant and ordered on 11-02-2019 that the short assessment is limited to one year and the appellant is allowed to remit the amount assessed in 20 installments. Still aggrieved by the said order, the appellant has filed the Appeal Petition before this Authority. For the reasons detailed above, the appeal Petition No. P/024/2019, filed by the appellant stands dismissed as it lacks merits. The order dated 11-02-2019 in OP No116/2018-19 of CGRF, Kozhikode is upheld. But an error in the calculation statement regarding the consumption during the normal period from 1-7-2018 to 1-8-2018 is to be corrected by the respondent and to revise the bill accordingly. Having concluded and decided as above, it is ordered accordingly. No order on costs.
