State Of Karnataka vs Vishwabharathi House Building ... on 17 January, 2003
Relying upon the decision of the Hon'ble Apex Court in State of Karnataka's case (Supra), the Calcutta High Court in L& T Finance Ltd.'s case (Supra) has observed that pendency of a Civil Suit does not create a bar to a Consumer Fora to entertain a petition of complaint as an additional remedy if it is otherwise not barred. The referred decisions have no manner of application in our case. It is true that the Appellant being Plaintiff instituted a suit for eviction against the tenant inducted by him being T.S. No.81/2001 but the said suit was dismissed as the Appellant could not prove his ownership by producing the Deed of Conveyance.
