The complainant has filed this case with prayer to direct the opp.parties to give correct electric bill of his house for the period from September,2010 to December,2010 by calculating month wise.
2. The petitioner’s case is that:-
He took power supply to his house from the opp.parties in May,2009 vide Consumer No. 008-CC-1285/021591625 and paid the bills regularly upto August, 2010. In the month of September,2010 the meter reader of the opp.parties came to the house of the complainant, verified the meter but went away without giving the meter reading bill, stating that the meter was defective. Similarly in the month of October and November,2010 the meter reader verified the meter and went away without giving the bill on the same pleading. In December,2010, the meter reader was also adopting same principle but due to pressure by the complainant he consulted the Asst.Manager CESU over phone and gave a bill of Rs. 19,929.00 only for four months i.e for September,2010 to December,2010.Again in the month of March,2011 the opp.parties gave a bill of Rs. 59,033.00 and ultimately disconnected the line. After repeated request and depositing Rs. 1,000.00, the opp.parties reconnected the line and regularised the bill from January, 2011 to March, 2011 as normal rent after removing the meter. So the complainant has filed this case ,seeking regularisation and correction of rent from September,2010 to December,2010.
3. Opp.party No.3 is not a necessary party in this case. Opp.party No.1 & 2 have filed written statement vide letter No. 282 dt.10.04.2014 stating that the wrong meter reading bill for the period from June,2009 to December,2010 has been revised and a some of Rs.4759.94 has been credited to the account of the complainant in June,2012.So he has prayed for dismissal of the case of the complainant.
4. The complainant has received the copy of the written version on 06.05.2014 where in the opp.parties have clearly stated that the claim of the complainant has already been settled and the amount has been credited to his account. The opp.parties have filed consumer billing statement in support of their claim. Thereafter, from 23.12.2014 none of the parties are appearing to appraise their grievance personally in any manner. Since the opp.parties have already revised the bill for the demand period, no further direction from this forum is necessary. So the case should be closed.
5. Hence the order :-
: O R D E R :
Since the demand of the complainant has already been complied by the opp.parties, further direction is not necessary. So the case is closed on contest.
