The appellant was willing to remit the energy charge during the period of unmetered supply based on the previous average of the recorded consumption. On 10-08-2021, the appellant was given a short assessment bill for the period from 03/2021 to 05/2021 revising from Rs.1,97,217/- to Rs.2,35,802/-., Rs.1,23,401/- to Rs.2,40,785/- and Rs.1,82,546/- to Rs.2,36,470/- respectively.
