Kunjikkoya.V.P., : RESPONDENT S/o Cheriya Mohammed, Vydhyakkaranpotti House, Valiyora.P.O., Vengara, Malappuram. JUDGMENT JUSTICE SRI.K.R.UDAYABHANU : PRESIDENT The appellants are the opposite parties/KSEB in CC.100/07 in the file of CDRF, Malappuram. The bill issued by the appellants for a sum of Rs.4,622/- stands cancelled. 2. It is the case of the complainant that he was having bimonthly consumption of 131 units only for the past 9 months on an average. 3. Opposite parties have contended that on 6.8.07 the consumption recorded was 1078 units. On complaint the meter was replaced and the old meter was tested by the Electrical Inspectorate and found free from any defects. The present reading in the new meter is only 66 units. It is stated that the complainant has reduced the consumption. 4. The evidence adduced consisted of the proof affidavits filed by the respective sides and Exts.A1 to A5 and Ext.B1. 5. The Forum has cancelled the bill assuming that there was spurt in recording the energy and hence the bill was set aside. Ext.B1 meter testing report by Electrical Inspectorate would show that the meter had no defects. No reason as such for the excessive consumption recorded in the meter could be found out as the meter is not having any defects. The only possibility is that the complainant would have consumed more energy. In the circumstances the order of the Forum is set aside and the appeal is allowed. Office will forward the copy of this order to the Forum urgently. JUSTICE SRI.K.R.UDAYABHANU : PRESIDENT ps |
