W.P.(C).No.29024 of 2009
---------------------------------------
Dated this the 10th day of June, 2010
J U D G M E N T
The petitioner challenges an order of the Kerala State Consumer
Dispute Redressal Commission. I am not inclined to exercise my
discretionary jurisdiction to interfere with Ext.P7 judgment, since the
petitioner has an effective alternative remedy by way of revision
before the National Commission. Therefore, this writ petition is
dismissed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to challenge
the impugned order in revision before the National Commission
appropriately. To enable the petitioner to file a revision and seek
interim orders, I direct that the interim order passed in this writ
petition would continue to be in force for a period of two months.
Counsel for the petitioner seeks a direction to the effect that the period
during which the writ petition was pending before this court may be
excluded for the purpose of limitation. It is for the petitioner to plead
the same before the National Commission and seek orders in respect
thereof.
S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE
