WADHWA<\/p>\n<p>(PRESIDENT) <\/p>\n<p> This petition is filed by the opposite parties under clause (b) of Section 21<\/p>\n<p>of the Consumer Protection Act. It arises out of an interim order passed by<\/p>\n<p>the District Forum.\n<\/p>\n<p> During the proceedings before the District<\/p>\n<p>Forum, parties filed their affidavits.\n<\/p>\n<p>Petitioners, it appears, wanted to file further affidavit and for that they requested for an adjournment for a<\/p>\n<p>week. Though this was<\/p>\n<p>opposed by the respondent-complainant, District Forum allowed the prayer of the petitioners<\/p>\n<p>on payment of Rs.25\/- as costs and the matter was adjourned to 12.7.1999.\n<\/p>\n<p>Matter could not be taken up on this day as lawyers were on strike and<\/p>\n<p>complaint was adjourned to<\/p>\n<p>17.8.1999. Since cost was not<\/p>\n<p>paid even on 17.8.99, further<\/p>\n<p>affidavit of the petitioners was not<\/p>\n<p>taken on record and the District Forum<\/p>\n<p>adjourned the complaint to 4.9.1999. We do not find any error in the order of<\/p>\n<p>the State Commission for us to exercise our jurisdiction under clause (b) of<\/p>\n<p>Section 21 of the Consumer Protection Act.\n<\/p>\n<p> Aggrieved<\/p>\n<p>Petitioners filed revision before the State<\/p>\n<p>Commission which was dismissed. State<\/p>\n<p>Commission observed that in regard to payment of costs, petitioner was not serious<\/p>\n<p>and even on 17.8.99, the date after the 12.7.99, when there was strike<\/p>\n<p>of lawyers, cost was not paid. Contention of the petitioners that the complainant refused to<\/p>\n<p>accept the cost was not believed by the State Commission. We do not find any error in the order of the<\/p>\n<p>State Commission for us to exercise our jurisdiction under clause (b) of<\/p>\n<p>Section 21 of the Consumer Protection<\/p>\n<p>Act. This revision petition is<\/p>\n<p>dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p> However, before we conclude a very disturbing<\/p>\n<p>feature has come to our notice and that is strike of lawyers and on which ground District Forum adjourned the<\/p>\n<p>matter from 12.7.1999 to 17.8.99.\n<\/p>\n<p>Strike is a virus which should not be allowed to infect the Fora<\/p>\n<p>constituted under the Consumer Protection Act. It should never be ground for adjournment in a Forum under this Act that the lawyers are on strike. In the<\/p>\n<p>present case we do not think<\/p>\n<p>State Commission took any serious note<\/p>\n<p>of the adjournment by the District Forum on the ground of strike by<\/p>\n<p>lawyers. It must not be forgotten that<\/p>\n<p>the Act is meant to provide speedy<\/p>\n<p>justice to the consumers. Under sub<\/p>\n<p>section (3) Section 13 it<\/p>\n<p>is specifically provided that no proceedings<\/p>\n<p>complying with the procedure laid down in sub-sections (1) and (2) shall be called in question in any court on<\/p>\n<p>the ground that the principles of natural justice have not been complied<\/p>\n<p>with. We have to guard ourselves against the<\/p>\n<p>pernicious practice of strike by lawyers spreading to the Fora under the Act. Non-appearance of a lawyer in a Court or Tribunal or any Authority<\/p>\n<p>after being engaged and having<\/p>\n<p>charged his fee could itself be<\/p>\n<p>deficiency in service on his part. There is already a public criticism that<\/p>\n<p>Fora under the Act are fast<\/p>\n<p>becoming civil courts where<\/p>\n<p>adjournments are granted as a matter<\/p>\n<p>of course. This should not be<\/p>\n<p>permitted otherwise the purpose of the<\/p>\n<p>Act will be lost. State Commissions<\/p>\n<p>should ensure that no adjournment is granted on the ground of strike by<\/p>\n<p>lawyers. If the lawyers do not appear<\/p>\n<p>before District Forum or State Commission, it can decide the matter on the<\/p>\n<p>basis of the record, if it so chooses.\n<\/p>\n<p>A request for adjournment on the<\/p>\n<p>ground of strike by lawyers is not justifiable ground for<\/p>\n<p>adjourning the matter.\n<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p> .J.\n<\/p>\n<p> (D.P.\n<\/p>\n<p>WADHWA) <\/p>\n<p>  PRESIDENT <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p> ..J.\n<\/p>\n<p> (J.K.\n<\/p>\n<p>MEHRA) <\/p>\n<p>  MEMBER <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p> .\n<\/p>\n<p>  (RAJYALAKSHMI<\/p>\n<p>RAO) <\/p>\n<p> MEMBER <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p> ..\n<\/p>\n<p> (<\/p>\n<p>B.K.
