                        That suddenly the O.Ps without any reason enhanced the constant demand from 1K.W to 2K.W and demanded excess amount in the monthly electricity bill. Thereafter the petitioner approached the O.Ps. through registered letter regarding correction of inflated bill and reduce the contact demand. But the O.Ps. without paying any heed to it remained silent.

                        Accordingly finding no other way the petitioner has  filed the present dispute  with the prayer necessary direction may be issued for reduce the load from 2K.W to 1 K.W and to revise the inflated bill.
