Hey, One of my friends know this builder very much. He said that in 2002, the KSEB officials booked the builder for using the connection given for construction for domestic use. They slapped a fine of Rs 5 lakh for using power above the prescribed load. The officials also disconnected the supply. Then, the builder moved court and obtained a stay. But they had to pay Rs 5 lakh as fine. The new officials who took charge at Thoppumpady electrical section do not know these incidents. That's why they have taken action against him.

But, hasn't the builder secured a stay order from the court for this. I think yes...in the recent news, I think I heard that the builders have secured a stay order from the Kerala High Court for using the connection.

To be precise what has happened is that during the inspection on last friday, they found out that there are occupants in 11 out of 35 individual apartments. The occupants use illegal connections. They should have disconnected the supply. But they have relaxed the rules on humanitarian grounds. And gave them some time for that.

The checking was conducted as per the instructions of chief vigilance officer Rishi Raj Singh. The builder took a connection for constructing the building in 1999. As he constructed six levels in place of four for which the corporation had given permit, the local body declared it as an unauthorized construction.

Exactly, what I came to know about them was that after a checking conducted by the squad on Friday, they served notice to the builder and occupants of the apartment complex to regularize connection within 14 days.

Lemme explain it to you. You know, it is illegal to use the electricity that are given for the purposes of construction for domestic purposes. Here, the builders of the FIFA towers in Fort Kochi was provided electricity to individual apartments in the building from a connection given for the purpose of construction.
