JUDGMENT

JUSTICE SHRI. K.R. UDAYABHANU:PRESIDENT

The appellant is the complainant in CC.944/08 in the file of CDRF, Thrissur.

2. The complaint has been filed alleging excess demand and collection of amount for providing electric connection.

3. The opposite parties were absent and set exparte before the Forum.

4. The evidence adduced consisted of Ext.P1 to P4.

5. The Forum allowed the complaint and directed the opposite parties to return the excess charges if any along with cost of Rs.300/-. It is the contention of the counsel for the appellant that the order is not specific.  We find that the Forum ought to have specified the amount liable to be returned failing which there is every  likelihood that there would be another round of litigation.  Hence the order of the Forum is set aside.  The matter is remitted back to the Forum.  The Forum is directed to issue notice to the opposite parties and dispose of the matter by a considered order.

The matter stands posted before the Forum on 23-09-2010.

The office will forward a copy of this order to the Forum.
