The appellant is an LT IV A consumer under Electrical Section, Veliyam with Consumer No 3856. The registered connected load of the premises is 20078 Watts and the contract demand is 20000 Watts. A cashew factory named M/s. Kevin Cashews is functioning in the premises. A penal bill for Rs. 58,985/- for the period from 04/2014 to 03/2016 was issued to the consumer on 05-12-2016, since sufficient capacitor was not installed in the petitioner's premises as per general conditions stipulated in the tariff order dated 27-09-2014. An objection against the demand was filed before the Assistant Engineer and he did not allow the petition and rejected without quoting any valid reason or regulations. So the appellant had approached the Hon’ble CGRF (South) by filing a petition in OP No. 325/2016 which was dismissed vide order dated 26-05-2017. Aggrieved against this, the appellant has submitted this appeal petition before this Authority. In the absence of any positive evidence to disbelieve the contentions raised by the appellant that the capacitors were installed in the premises in the disputed period, I hold the 20% extra charges for the period from 04/2014 to 03/2016 is arbitrary and hence unsustainable. The appeal petition filed by the appellant is found having merits and is allowed. CGRF order OP No. 325/2016 dated: 26-05-2017 is set aside. Having concluded and decided as above it is ordered accordingly. No order as to costs.

Two numbers of service connections with consumer Nos. 5226 and 5227 were effected in favour of Mar Theodosius Medical Mission Hospital, Poruvazhy under Electrical Section Sasthamkotta, under LT VI A tariff. The connected loads of these connections are 68 kW and 39 kW respectively. The Anti Power Theft Squad (APTS) Wing of KSEB Ltd conducted an inspection in the appellant’s premises on 08-11-2016 and detected that the tariff assigned to the appellant was LT VI A tariff instead of the eligible tariff of LT VI F. The appellant had been enjoying the concessional tariff, which is eligible only to those consumers having registration under the Travancore Cochin Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies Registration Act, 1955, the donation to which are exempted from income tax. Since the appellant was billed under LT VI A tariff, a short assessment bills dated 15-11-2016 amounting to Rs. 3,19,816/- to consumer number 5226 and Rs. 1,34,758/- to consumer number 5227 were issued towards the undercharged amount due to wrong fixation of tariff. Aggrieved against this, the appellant approached with a petition before CGRF (South), Kottarakkara, which was disposed of by the Forum vide order in OP No. 379/2017 dated 22-06-2017 by directing the respondent to change the tariff of the consumer as per the revised tariff order of KSERC dated 17-04-2017 and the petitioner shall remit the amount within one month from the date of receipt of the order and also allowed six monthly instalments without interest. Against the above order, the appellant has filed this appeal petition before this Authority with a request to retain the tariff under LT VI A and to set aside the short assessment bills issued to the institution. Considering the above facts and legal provisions pertaining to the issue this Authority is of the considered view that the appellant’s premises is not eligible for LT VI A tariff. So, the appeal petition stands dismissed as it is found having no merits. The appellant shall remit the bills within one month from the date of receipt of this order and the respondent shall allow sufficient instalments without interest, if the appellant applies for the same. The order of CGRF (South), Kottarakkara in OP No. 379/2017 dated 22-06-2017 is upheld. Having concluded and decided as above, it is ordered accordingly. No order as to costs.
