General Manager, Telecom., Bsnl vs Krishnan on 14 February, 2003
That the Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum is having
jurisdiction to entertain disputes regarding the defective meter, is
now settled in favour of the petitioner by the Full Bench decision
of this Court in General Manager, Telecom, BSNL v. Krishnan
(2003(1) KLT 817). There will be a direction to the first
respondent to consider Ext.P2 complaint on merits and dispose of
the same within four months from the date of receipt of a copy of
the judgment. It is made clear that any demand pertaining to the
disputed meter will be deferred till a decision is taken by the
Forum.
