WP(C) 1711/2009 BEFORE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE HN SAMRA Heard Mr KK Mahanta, learned counsel for the petitioner and Ms H Phukan , learned GA, Assam. Challenge made in this writ petition is the judgment and order dated 25 .3.2009 passed by the District Consumer Dispute Redressal Forum, Nagaon, in Case CP No.23/2002. The judgment and order dated 25.3.2009 passed by the District Consumer D ispute Rdressal Forum, Nagaon, in Case CP No 23/2002 is an appellable one before the State Commission under section 15 of the Consumer ProtectionAct,1986. There having statutory provision for appeal and this writ petition also requires eval uation of factual assessment, in my considered opinion, it would be just and pro per for the petitioner to approach the State Commission by filing an appeal. It appears that the statutory period of one month to prefer an appeal against such an order before the State Commission has already been expired since the date of passing of the order by the District Consumer Dispute Redressal Forum, Nagaon. A s provided in proviso to section 15 of the Act, the petitioner may also file an application along with the appeal for condonation of delay in filing the appeal. In view of nature of disputes involved in this case, in the event of filing suc h an appeal along with an application for condonation of delay, the State Commi ssion shall liberally consider the prayer for condoning the delay and pass appro priate orders thereon. With the aforesaid observations and direction, this writ petition stand s closed.
