JUDGMENT
By this writ petition, the petitioner seeks transfer of O.P.
(Consumer) No.174/2004 pending before the Consumer Disputes
Redressal Forum, Pathanamthitta to Consumer Disputes
Redreassal Forum, Ernakulam on medical grounds. It is pointed
out before me that under Section 17A of the Consumer Protection
Act, the State Commission has powers to transfer any complaint
pending before any District Forum to another District Forum
within the State if the interest of justice so requires.
In the above circumstances, without prejudice to the right
of the petitioner to approach the State Commission under Section
17A of the Consumer Protection Act, this writ petition is closed.
