BY ADV.SRI.P.P.THAJUDEEN, SC, KSEB THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 19/08/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: K.M. JOSEPH, J. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` W.P.(C) No. 25050 OF 2008 F ```````````````````````````````````````````````````` Dated this the 19th day of August, 2008 J U D G M E N T Petitioner is aggrieved by Ext.P2. The petitioner had already approached the Consumer Grievance Redressal Forum, Kozhikode, namely the 6th respondent. In so far as the petitioner has already approached the alternate Forum by filing Ext.P6 complaint, I do not see any reason to consider the challenge on Exts.P2 and P5. Accordingly, writ petition is disposed of directing the 6th respondent to consider and take a decision on Ext.P6 in accordance with law, after affording an opportunity for hearing to the petitioner, within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a copy of this judgment. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that the petitioner has already paid Rs.1 lakh. In such circumstances, further proceedings pursuant to Ext.P2 shall be kept in abeyance till a decision is taken by the 6th respondent in the matter. This judgment will not stand in the way of the petitioner to pay regular bills. Sd/- (K.M.JOSEPH, JUDGE) aks
