We explore the discovery potential of doubly charged Higgs bosons ({xi}{sup {+-}{+-}}) at the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC). For moderate values of the coupling constants in the original Type-II seesaw model, these doubly charged Higgs bosons are not accessible at any present or near future collider experiments. In a gauged B-L symmetric model we introduce two triplet scalars to execute a variant of type-II seesaw at the TeV scale. This leads to a clear like-sign dilepton signal in the decay mode of {xi}{sup {+-}{+-}} for a small vacuum expectation value ((less-or-similar sign)10{sup 5} eV) of the triplet scalar {xi}=({xi}{sup ++},{xi}{sup +},{xi}{sup 0}) of mass (less-or-similar sign)1 TeV. To be specific, for a mass range of 200-1000 GeV of {xi}{sup {+-}{+-},} the like-sign dilepton signal can be detected at CERN LHC at a center of mass energy 14 TeV with an integrated luminosity, say, (greater-or-similar sign)30 fb{sup -1}. The same analysis is also pursued with center of mass energies 7 TeV and 10 TeV as well. We also comment on the decay mode of singly charged scalars and the neutral B-L gauge boson in this model.
