Case Note & Summary
The case involves an appeal on execution filed by Shellender Singh under Section 27-A of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, challenging the order dated 30.06.2023 passed by the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Chandigarh, in Execution Application No. 112 of 2016. The background of the dispute is that the appellant was the decree holder in a consumer complaint (CC/311/2015) where the State Commission had partly allowed the complaint on 10.06.2016, directing the opposite party (M/s Omaxe Chandigarh Extension Developers Pvt. Ltd. and its officials) to hand over physical possession of a unit, execute a sale deed, and pay penalties for delay. The appellant filed an execution application to enforce this order. The State Commission, vide order dated 30.06.2023, dismissed the execution application. The appellant then filed a Review Application No. 5 of 2023 under Section 50 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, which was disposed of on 12.12.2023 on the ground that the State Commission lacked power to review its own order under the 1986 Act. Aggrieved, the appellant filed the present appeal before the National Commission. The National Commission considered the appeal along with applications for condonation of delay (IA/563/2024 and IA/11661/2024). The appellant appeared in person, while the respondents were represented by counsel. The National Commission, after hearing the parties and perusing the record, found no merit in the appeal and dismissed it. The court did not elaborate on the specific reasons for dismissal but concluded that the appeal lacked substance. The judgment was pronounced on 09.05.2025 by a bench comprising Hon'ble Mr. Subhash Chandra, Presiding Member, and Hon'ble AVM J. Rajendra, AVSM VSM (Retd.), Member.
