| The Appellant is a domestic consumer with consumer No.19918, under Electrical Section, Chovva, Kannur having a connected load of 8730 Watts. The spot bill for the month of April 2015 amounting to Rs. 6,738.00 was issued to the appellant for 136 days (1323 units). The previous bill for an average consumption of 240 units was issued on 09-02-2015. The appellant alleged that due to the delay on the part of Meter Reader in taking the meter reading timely has resulted in the issuance of the excess bill. The appellant had submitted a petition before the Assistant Engineer, Electrical Section, Chovva on 22‐04-2015. The appellant was not satisfied with the reply given by the respondent. Aggrieved against this, the appellant submitted a petition before the Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum, Kozhikode which was dismissed vide order No. 24/2015‐16 dated 04-11-2015. Still aggrieved by the said order, the appellant has filed this appeal petition.
Since the respondent failed to follow the Sub regulation of Regulation 110 and 111 of Supply Code, 2014, the invoice issued for an amount of Rs. 6,738.00 cannot be sustained and hence quashed. The respondent is directed to revise the invoice as per Regulation 130 of Supply Code, 2014. Appeal is admitted and the order of CGRF in OP 24/2015-16 dated 04-11-2015 is set aside. No order as to costs. |
