KERALA STATE CONSUMER DISPUTES REDRESSAL COMMISSION VAZHUTHACAUD THIRUVANANTHAPURAM APPEAL No.27/06 JUDGMENT DATED 31.8.09 PRESENT JUSTICE SHRI.K.R.UDAYABHANU -- PRESIDENT SMT.VALSALA SARANGADHARAN -- MEMBER Assistant Executive Engineer, P.H.Sub division, Kerala Water Authority, -- APPELLANT Changanassery. (By Adv.V.S.Hareendranath) Vs. Mathai Devasya, Kunnanthara House, -- RESPONDENT Malakunnamkara, Kuruchi village, Changanassery Taluk, Kottayam Dist. JUDGMENT JUSTICE SHRI.K.R.UDAYABHANU,PRESIDENT The appellant is the opposite party/Water Authority in OP.49/05 in the file of CDRF, Kottayam. The bill issued by the opposite party for a sum of Rs.6332/- stands cancelled and the opposite party/appellant is also directed to pay cost of Rs.500/-. 2. The complainant has sought for setting aside the impugned bill on the ground that has been levied with commercial tariff whereas according to him he is liable to pay the rates under domestic tariff. The Forum has up-held the contention of the complainant that he was not using water supply by the appellant for commercial purposes. The counsel for the appellant has pointed out that setting aside the bill as such is not proper as the appellant has got every right to levy the bill at least under the domestic tariff. 3. We find that the counsel for the appellant is perfectly correct. In the circumstances, the order of the Forum is set aside. The appellant is directed to issue bill for the water consumed under domestic tariff. The rest of the order is sustained. The appellant will issue fresh bill under domestic tariff and complainant will be liable to pay fresh bill in place of the disputed bill and the complainant will pay the same in time. The appeal is disposed of accordingly. JUSTICE K.R.UDAYABHANU -- PRESIDENT VALSALA SARANGADHARAN -- MEMBER
