DERC Performance standards ?????

Dear Friends,

 

All the protests will be futile once these Dangerous Clauses become Law.

 

Such are the ways of DERC ...... that I am forced to write Letters such as this. You may remember a few weeks back I had spoken of 'THE DANGEROUS LOOT CLAUSE' was inserted in the Draft Performance Standards Resolution in Contravention of the Electricity Act, making Permanent the Profiteering by DISCOMS through Fast Running Meters.

 

Now the CUNNING manner in which DERC has again inserted a 'DANGEROUS RANSOM NOTE' in the form of a Clause ..........

 

DERC(CGRF& Ombudsman) Regulation: The Regulation 7 of the draft Regulation prohibit the consumers to approach CGRF on the matters related to U/S 126,135 to 139, 152 and 161 contrary to the provisions U/S 42(5) of the EA 2003.

 

Where will the consumer go if the licensee books a consumer wrongly under above sections? I fail to understand how can someone in DERC Draft such a clause, unless they are under some unlawful obligation towards DISCOMS.

 

I had fears of such happenings in DERC that is why I had filed the following Suggestions ........ Please read it carefully, especially Composition of the Forum.
