Koneti Naga Subbamma Vs. Mandal Revenue Officer, Chakrayapeta Mandal, ...

Court: Andhra Pradesh State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission SCDRC Hyderabad

S. Parvatha Rao, President: 1. This appeal is not maintainable because there was no order of the District Forum on any complaint under Section 14 of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 (the Act for short). An appeal lies to State Commission only from an order made by the District Forum. In the present case the grievance of Mr. B. Nagulaiah, who purports to prefer this appeal, is that the complaint preferred by the Pulivendula Consumer Society (of which he is the President) on behalf of one Smt. Koneti Naga Subbamma before the Cuddapah District Forum was not even numbered and was not attended to. He presented the original complaint on 13.4.1998 before the Cuddapah District Forum which was given S.R. No. 561. It was returned with an endorsement dated 16.4.1998 to the effect that no consumer dispute was made out, hence returned. 2. In the circumstances, we examined the matter under Section 17(b) of the Act in order to satisfy ourselves whether the said return was vitiated by any illegality ...
