Filed on 09.09.2009

 

            The case of the complainant is that he is a consumer of the opposite parties and he has paid water charges up to 30.6.2009 in advance.  While so an additional bill of Rs.24,289/- was issued by the opposite parties and it is illegal and it is issued  without following  the norms and hence the complaint.  

            2.  Opposite parties filed version stating  that denying the allegations and prayed for dismissal of the complaint.

           

            3.   Exts. A1 to A9 marked on the side of the complainant and Exts.B1 to B5 marked on the side of the opposite parties.  The complainant was examined as PW1. 

4.  We gone through the  pleadings and evidence adduced.  Even as per the order of Managing Director of Kerala Water Authority dated  4.10.2008, a consumer who pays Rs.62/- as water charge per month is entitled to 14 KL. of water.  It is self speaking.   It is also learned that the actions of the opposite parties are not in accordance with the norms prescribed.      

            In the result, complaint is allowed and the complainant is not liable to pay the additional bill of  Rs.24,289/-  and it  quashed,   it is also made  clear that if the opposite parties disconnected the water connection on the basis of said bill in question, the opposite parties are directed to restore it forthwith.  No order as to costs. 

            Dictated to the Confidential Asst. transcribed by her corrected to me  and pronounced in open Court on this the 30th day of  September, 2010.
