Supreme Court in Tope line Shoes Ltd. vs. Corporation Bank, reported in (2002) 6 SCC 33. This decision has been rendered by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in regard to section 13(2)(a) of Consumer Protection Act, 1986, where the time limit has been prescribed for filing of opposite party version to the Consumer Forum. But this section does not deal with the proviso that the Consumer Forum has to decide the application within a particular time.

17. Learned Dy. Advocate General further relied on the judgment of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Balwant Singh and others vs. Anand Kumar Sharma and others, reported in (2003) 3 SCC 433. In this case, Hon'ble Supreme Court observed that for a public functionary who is required to perform a public function within a time limit, it shall be held to be directory. This case is also not applicable in the present case because the statute has prescribed time limit for quasi judicial adjudication.
