P-066-2021-Smt. Subha Murugan, Kollam-Order 25-02-2022
The Anti Power Theft Squad (APTS) of KSEB inspected the premises of the appellant and found 8 kilowatts unauthorized additional load and the appellant was issued an assessment bill. Against the subsequent notices, the appellant filed a writ petition before the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala. The Hon’ble High Court through an interim order directed the appellant to remit 50% of the bill amount including surcharge and the amount was remitted by the appellant. The writ petition was finally disposed of with the direction to remit Rs.50,000/- further and the amount was remitted by the appellant. The appellant was given another notice for Rs.1,37,596 and hence, the appellant filed another writ petition before the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala. The Hon’ble Court directed the appellant to remit 50% of the amount Rs.1,37,596/- and also directed to file appeal before the Chief Electrical Inspector within a period of two weeks. The appellant remitted Rs.68,788/- towards 50% of Rs.1,37,596/-, but again the appellant did not file an appeal before the Chief Electrical Inspector. Another notice demanding Rs.81,170/- was given to the appellant, which led to file one more Writ Petition before the Hon’ble High Court of Kerala. The Hon’ble High Court directed the Chief Electrical Inspector to consider the appeal of the appellant and pass appropriate orders thereon after hearing the parties within a period of two months thereafter. The Chief Electrical Inspector conducted hearing on 05-02-2016 and issued orders on 06-03-2016 with a direction to the respondent to revise the original bill for Rs.75,226/- based on the revised connected load. Accordingly, the respondent revised the original bill from Rs.75,226/- to Rs.16,970/- along with surcharge for Rs.52,854/- up to 14-09-2010. Since the grievances of the appellant mentioned in the appeal petition are in continuation of the decision of the Chief Electrical Inspector, it is not proper to interfere in the appeal and it is proper to approach the Chief Electrical Inspector, who decided in the subject of additional load as directed by Hon’ble High Court of Kerala. It is decided to reject the appeal petition P-066/2021 filed by the appellant and stands disposed of as such. The appellant is free to approach the Chief Electrical Inspector for redressing the grievance.
