P-079-2021- Smt. Naseema, EKM-Order 17-03-2022
The Anti Power Theft Squad (APTS) of KSEB Ltd. inspected the premises of the appellant and found defects in the metering system, which led to the non-recording of actual consumption in the premises. The appellant was given a short assessment bill for Rs.5,57,705/- for the period from 09/2019 to 08/2021 to compensate the revenue loss. Though the appellant was ready to remit the amount in 24 monthly instalments if the instalment was granted without any interest or surcharge, the Licensee did not allow relaxation in interest or surcharge. The appellant approached the Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum (CGRF), Central Region within thirty days. The Forum vide its order dated 20-11-2021 in OP No. 31/2021-22 rejected the request. Then the appellant filed this appeal petition before this Authority. The short assessment bill for Rs.5,57,705/- for the period from 09/2019 to 08/2021 issued to the appellant is quashed. The respondent is directed to revise the short assessment bill for a period of 12 months prior to the date of inspection and issue the revised bill within 15 days from the date of order. The respondent shall issue 12 equal monthly instalments on the revised bill amount without interest and the appellant shall remit the instalment amount within the due date fixed by the respondent for each instalment. The order of CGRF, Central Region, Ernakulam in OP No.31/2021-’22 dated 20-11-2021 is set aside.
