Sushil Siwach vs Shalimar Estates(P) Ltd. Corp on 13 December, 2012
21.
There is
another aspect of the case. As stated above, when Consumer Complaint No.42
of 2012, titled as Sushil Siwach Vs. Shalimar Estates (P) Ltd., was
instituted by the complainant, on 07.08.2012, which was accepted vide order
dated 13.12.2012, feeling aggrieved, the Judgment Debtor/ Opposite Party,
filed First Appeal No.58 of 2013, titled as Shalimar Estates Pvt. Ltd., Vs Sushil Siwach,
which was admitted. Vide order dated 26.02.2013, the National Consumer Disputes
Redressal Commission, New Delhi, in the aforesaid appeal, subject to deposit of
the entire decreetal amount, alongwith interest, with it, within four weeks,
stayed the operation of the impugned order dated 13.12.2012. It was further
made clear, that, in case, the amount was not deposited, within the stipulated
period, the stay granted shall stand vacated automatically. Thereafter, an
application for extension of time, was filed, by the appellant/Judgment
Debtor/Opposite Party, before the National Consumer Disputes Redressal
Commission, New Delhi, which, vide order dated 31.05.2013, extended the same
(time), for deposit of amount, till 15.06.2013. Again, vide order dated
12.07.2013, by way of final opportunity, one week`s time was allowed to the
appellant/Judgment Debtor, to deposit the decreetal amount, but it was made
clear that no further extension shall be permitted, in the case, and stay shall
automatically stand vacated. Again the appellant/Judgment Debtor, moved
I.A. 4730 of 2013, in First Appeal No.58
of 2013, for extension of time, which was declined by the National Consumer
Disputes Redressal Commission, New Delhi, vide order dated 02.08.2013. The
Judgment Debtor/Opposite Party, filed Special Leave Petition, in the Hon`ble
Supreme Court of India, against the order dated 02.08.2013, passed by the
National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, New Delhi, vide which it declined
the extension of time, for deposit of the amount aforesaid. However, the Special
Leave Petition was dismissed vide order dated 27.09.2013. Once, the Judgment
Debtor/Opposite Party availed of its remedy, upto the Hon`ble Supreme Court of
India, against the order dated 02.08.2013, vide which extension of time, was
not granted, by the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, New Delhi,
for deposit of the amount, now it did not lie, in its mouth, to say that the
order dated 13.12.2012, passed in the Consumer Complaint, bearing No.42 of
2012, by this Commission, during the pendency of appeal, before the National
Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, New Delhi, had not attained finality,
and, as such, the Execution Application,
under Section 27 of the Act, was not maintainable. On this ground too,
the submission of the Counsel for the Judgment Debtor/Opposite Party, being
devoid of merit, must fail, and the same stands rejected.
Maytas Properties Limited, Rep. By Its ... vs A.P. State Consumer Disputes Redressal ... on 7 February, 2013
22.
The Counsel
for the Judgment Debtor/Opposite Party, however, placed reliance on Maytas
Vs. Andhra Pradesh State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Mr. Mamidi
Naveen and Mrs. MamidiAnantha Lakshmi Saritha, AIR 2013 AP 93, decided by
the High Court of Andhra Pradesh, at Hyderabad, to contend that, on account of
pendency of an appeal, in the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission,
New Delhi, against the order passed by the State Consumer Disputes Redressal
Commission, though the stay granted, therein, stood vacated, the Execution
Application, under Section 27 of the
Act, was not maintainable. No doubt, in Maytas`s case (supra), the High
Court of Andhra Pradesh, at Hyderabad, held that if an appeal against the order
of the Consumer Fora, is pending in the Higher Fora, irrespective of the fact, whether stay had
not been granted therein, the order could not be executed, by filing the Execution
Application, under Section 27 of the
Act. It may be stated here, that in Allahabad Development Authority,
Allahabad`s case (supra), a Division Bench of the High Court of Allahabad
held that the Execution Application,
under Section 27 of the Act, for the enforcement of the order, passed by
the Consumer Fora, even if, an appeal against the same, was pending, but no
stay had been granted, was maintainable. We are of the considered opinion, that
in view of the divergent principle of law, laid down, by the Division Benches
of two High Courts, on the same point, it is for the Consumer Fora, to follow
the one, which appeared to it, to be more reasonable and correct. Why the
Decree Holder be deprived of reaping the fruit of decree, which was rendered in
his favour, especially when there is no stay, against the same, though an
appeal is pending. Why the Decree Holder should be made to wait, for a long
number of years, to enforce the order against which, no stay was operative. If
the Decree Holder is deprived of the benefit of decision, rendered in his
favour, merely on the ground that an appeal against the same is pending, though
no stay is operative, against the same, the purpose of the Consumer Protection
Act, 1986, providing for the speedy redressal of the grievances of the
consumers, shall stand defeated. If ultimately, the appeal is accepted, the
Judgment Debtor, shall have the remedy of resorting to the restitution
proceedings. In our considered opinion, the view expressed by the Division
Bench of Allahabad High Court, in Allahabad Development Authority,
Allahabad`s case (supra), is required to be followed, in the instant case,
in view of its peculiar facts and circumstances.

Not only
this, as stated above, earlier Execution Application No.08 of 2013, was filed
by the complainant/Decree Holder, for compliance of the order dated 13.12.2012,
passed by this Commission, in the
Consumer Complaint, bearing No.42 of 2012, during the pendency whereof, two
Demand Drafts bearing Nos.030537 and 133392, both dated 20.11.2013, in the sum
of Rs.2 lacs, and Rs.3 lacs, respectively, were handed over to the Counsel for
the Decree Holder/complainant, by the Counsel for the Judgment Debtor/Opposite
Party, and the same were accepted by him. An undertaking was given by the Counsel
for the Judgment Debtor/Opposite Party, that the Judgment Debtor shall pay the remaining amount, within four months.
On the basis of such undertaking, the Execution Application was dismissed as
withdrawn, with liberty to file a fresh one, in case, the same (undertaking)
was not adhered to. This undertaking was not adhered to, by the Judgment
Debtor/Opposite Party, as a result whereof, the instant Execution Application, was
filed by the Decree Holder/complainant. No doubt, during the pendency of the
instant Execution Application, four post dated cheques, referred to above, were
offered, by the Counsel for the Judgment Debtor/Opposite Party, to the Counsel for
the Decree Holder/complainant, yet he refused to accept the same, keeping in
view the previous conduct of the Judgment Debtor/Opposite Party, as he failed
to comply with the undertaking, aforesaid, given by him.
