P-058-2022- Sri. Jins Paul, Kottayam- Order 31-10-22
There was an electric line passing through this property and this line was dangerously sagging. On 13th March 2020, there was a fire in the farm and the crops and other items in the farm were burned and damaged. The farm in the land of around 50 cents were totally damaged. The fire would have been developed due to the short circuit in the electric line. The appellant has already complained to the Section Office about the sagging of the line before the occurrence of fire. No action has been taken by the Asst. Engineer of the Licensee. The appellant has sent a claim for Rs.1.0 lakh towards the compensation for the damage and not yet settled. Appellant filed petition to CGRF (SR) and CGRF issued order stating that no records have produced to show the exact damage and loss suffered and hence, not admitted. The appellant approached this Authority by filing the appeal petition and following decisions are taken: 1. The Licensee has to ensure that the line is having the proper safety clearance in between the phases and ground. Necessary action is to be taken to ensure the same. 2. The appellant is failed to prove that the occurrence of fire is due to the short circuit and hence, claim is not allowed. 3. Shifting of line if required, the cost is to be borne by the appellant.
