RP-005-2021- AXE, ESD, Pinarai, Kannur - Order 02-02-2022
The appellant remitted Rs.1,41,894/- towards “other charges” specified in the regular monthly bills from 01-11-2018 to 02-11-2020. As per respondent “other charges” mentioned in bills are low power factor penalty. The appellant approached officials of KSEBL at various levels for the refund of “other charges” from 01-11-2018 to 02-11-2020. Since no action was taken by the Officers of KSEB Ltd., the appellant filed petition in CGRF, Northern Region, and the Forum in its order dated 02-03-2021 rejected the request of the appellant. The appellant filed an appeal petition vide P-028/2021 before this Authority and a decision was taken as follows: “There are lapses on the part of appellant in maintaining the rated values of capacitors to avoid power factor disincentives and lapses on the part of respondent to intimate the subject of low power factor to the appellant as per rules. As such, it is decided to refund the power factor penalty realized from the appellant for 12 months from 11/2019 to 11/2020, by limiting the period of refund requested by the appellant. The respondent shall refund the amount realized under “other charges” or “power factor penalty” from the appellant from 11/2019 to 11/2020 within 45 days from the date of order or adjust in the future bills.” This Authority of the view that power factor of the industrial and other applicable categories of the consumers can be improved by monitoring the data available to the Licensee. In the review petition nothing is pointed out, which escaped from the notice of this Authority while disposing the appeal petition. The review jurisdiction is limited to rectify a mistake or an error which is apparent on the face of records and it cannot be used as appellate jurisdiction. In this background, this Authority did not find any reason to intervene the order already issued. It is decided that review petition is not maintainable and hence, rejected.
