The MCO was not entered in the revenue record. Also consumption from 7/15 to 8/1/16 was not recorded and billed on provisional bases. The actual reading was recorded by meter form 4/2013 to 7/2015 whereas audit pointed out the short assessment from 4/13 to 3/16. The complaint was forwarded to the Nodal Officer for filing the written reply of the Nigam and both the parties were asked to appear before the Forum on at Hisar for hearing of the case. The proceedings held at Hisar on The complainant and representative of respondent SDO were present.

So no amount is refundable. Complainant contested the reply of SDO and stated that the Sr. no. of meter indicated on both the MCOs clearly indicates and substantiates his statement. The representative of SDO stated that the different sr. no. was mistake of JE. and amount charged through half margin is correct. Complainant submitted consumption data from 13/4/2013 to date alongwith MT1 dated and After going through the record on file and hearing the parties, the Forum finds that:- 1. premises of complainant was checked on by M&P wing on request of SDO vide memo no. 729 dated for regularization of matter as meter and CT was already changed by the SDO. 2. Meter Sr. no / HTL make was found installed by M&P whereas as JE has recorded Sr. no as on the MCO during 7/2015. This may be due to mistake as pointed out by respondent SDO. 3. Meter accuracy was also checked by M&P team on and found within permissible limit with reading as x 6 KWH. 4. The premises was again checked by the M&P team on 8/1/2016 on request of SDO vide memo no dated for the replacement of burnt meter. 5. Meter bearing Sr.no , found installed on , was removed on reading as RNV and new meter bearing Sr. No was installed.

26 6. JE incharge again entered wrong particular of the old meter on MCO dated 4/7/ From the consumption data submitted by the complainant it is gathered that reading was recorded regularly up to 7/2015 and reading was recorded during 7/2015. It is also observed that reading was not recorded form 9/2015 to 3/2016. After going through the record on file and hearing the parties, the Forum finds that reading has been recorded regularly up to 7/2015 and after 5/2016 to date. So charging on average base for the period 4/22013 to 7/2015 is not justified. The forum therefore decides to dispose of the complaint with the direction that amount charged on average bases form 4/2013 to 7/2015 may be withdrawn. Forum also decided that disciplinary action may be taken against the JE incharge for dealing the issue in causal way. The case is closed. Both the parties to bear their own cost.
