JUDGMENT

This writ petition is filed challenging Ext.P8 order passed by the Electricity Ombudsman, affirming the dismissal of the complaint preferred by the petitioner before the Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum.

2. The petitioner contends that he owns 24 cents of property at Mooverikkara near Kunnathukal, and during Covid-19 period, an electrical service wire was drawn through the middle of his property, without consent. It is further stated that the Board had estimated an amount of Rs.8,050/- for rerouting the service line through Ext.P3 communication. Making the same allegations, the petitioner approached the CGRF, which found by its order dated 20.06.2025, Ext.P6, that the line was already drawn through the property even before the purchase by the petitioner herein and that the estimated amount of Rs.8,050/- for changing the same, was in tune with Regulation 95 of the Kerala State Electricity Supply Code, 2014.

3. Accordingly, the CGRF found that the petitioner has to deposit the required estimated amount for carrying out the shifting work. Aggrieved by the said order, the petitioner moved the Electricity Ombudsman, who also found that the petitioner had purchased the property
