We have carefully scrutinized the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. We have also carefully analyzed the submissions and the cases cited by the learned Counsel for the parties.
36. On carefully analysis of the provisions of the Act, it is abundantly clear that the Tribunals are creatures of the Statute and derive their power from the express provisions of the Statute. The District Forums and the State Commissions have not been given any power to set aside ex-parte orders and power of review and the powers which have not been expressly given by the Statute cannot be exercised.
39. In view of the legal position, in Civil Appeal No.4307 of 2007, the findings of the National Commission are set aside as far it has held that the State Commission can review its own orders. After the amendment in Section 22 and introduction of Section 22A in the Act in the year 2002 by which the power of review of recall has vested with the National Commission only. However, we agree with the findings of the National Commission holding that the Complaint No.473 of 1999 be restored to its original number for hearing in accordance with law."

Thus, the District Forum has rightly dismissed the application filed by the complainant seeking restoration of her complaint dismissed earlier // 6 // for non-prosecution. The State Commission has also correctly dismissed the appeal against that order." 12- State Bank of Patiala vs. M/s.
