These writ petitions are filed under Articles 226 and 227
of the constitution of India praying to quash the impugned
judgment and order in consumer complaints passed by the
Hon'ble District Consumers Disputes Redressal Forum, Mysore,
etc.
These writ petitions, coming on for orders, this day, the
Court made the following:
ORDER
The petitioner has challenged the orders passed by the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Mysore. On the short ground of the availability of the alternative remedy of filing the appeal invoking the relevant provisions of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, I am disinclined to entertain these petitions.
2. The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India has this to say in the case of Cicily Kallarackal Vs. Vehicle Factory in S.L.P (C) No.24228-24229 of 2012 (CC Nos.12891-12892 of 2012):
16
"Para 7: While declining to interfere in the present Special Leave Petition preferred against the order passed by the High Court in exercise of its extraordinary jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, we hereby make it clear that the order of the Commission are incapable of being questioned under the writ jurisdiction of the High Court, as a statutory appeal in terms of Section 27A(1)(c) lies to this Court. Therefore, we have no hesitation in issuing a direction of caution that it will not be proper exercise of jurisdiction by the High Courts to entertain writ petitions against such orders of the Commission. A copy of this order may be sent to the Registrar General of all the High Courts, for bringing the same to the notice of Hon'ble the Chief Justices and Hon'ble Judges of the respective High Courts".
3. These petitions are rejected keeping all the contentions open and reserving the liberty to the petitioner to avail of the remedy of filing the appeals. No order as to costs.
