The Assistant Executive Engineer, Electrical Sub Division, KSEB Ltd, Karaparamba , Kozhikode District. 2. The Assistant Engineer, Electrical Section, KSEB Ltd., Kakkodi , Kozhikode District ORDER Case of the Petitioner:- Inaction of the licensee in replacing the electric post installed in the property of the petitioner without his consent is the substance of the complaint. The above work is supposed to be carried out by the R-APDRP wing of the Licensee. It is stated that the above post obstructs the movement of vehicles in to his property as it is erected at the middle of the way. The complainant is serving in Indian army and is working at Jammu and Kashmir. As petitioner is far away from his house and the inability of his aged father in tackling the issue, he lodged a written complaint with the licensee on 25/02/2017 .It is alleged that nothing is initiated from the part of the licensee even it was brought before the attention of the Assistant Executive Engineer, Karaparamba on 16/05/2017. Disappointed by the stance of the Licensee, the petitioner approaches Forum. Version by the Respondent:- The Licensee admits that the petitioner had submitted a complaint on 09/02/2017 for shifting a newly erected post at the path way to the property of the petitioner .It is revealed that the above post was erected by the L& T group in connection with the conversion work ( Single phase to Three phase) under R- APDRP Scheme. It is submitted that the existing post has been shifted to the boundary of the pathway on 01/07/2017 and the complaint of the petitioner has been redressed. The contract of the above work was 2 assigned to the L& T group by the R –APDRP Wing of the licensee and hence the delay for shifting the post. Discussion, analysis and findings:- As the electric post in dispute was shifted to the nearby path way, the obstruction to the petitioner was removed .The Licensee states that there was no intentional delay in shifting the post as the above work was executed by the R-APDRP wing of the Licensee. The petitioner as per his letter dated 02/07/2017 requested the Forum to treat his petition as withdrawn on the basis of corrective measures taken by the licensee. The Forum is of the opinion that there should be proper coordination between the Section Concerned and the R-APDRP Wing while carrying out the work of above nature.
