THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE N.V. RAMANA AND THE HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE P. DURGA PRASAD WRIT PETITION No. 26694 of 2011 ORDER: (Per Hon’ble Sri Justice N.V. Ramana) This writ petition is filed against the orders dated 29.08.2011 passed in I.A. No. 168 of 2011 in C.C. No. 1148 of 2010 by the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum-I, Hyderabad, appointing Advocate Commissioner to inspect the defective works relating to the flat bearing No.U-12, AWHO Ved Vihar, Near Subash Nagar, Trimulgherry, Secunderabad-15. At the hearing, when this Court pointed out that against the impugned order, the petitioners have a statutory remedy of appeal before the State Commission, the counsel for the petitioners admitted the same, but however, tried to impress upon us, contending that since the impugned order is contrary to the object of the Consumer Protection Act, this Court can entertain the writ petition against the same. We are not in agreement with the counsel for the petitioners. If according to the petitioners, the impugned order is contrary to the object of the Consumer Protection Act, they can raise the same in the statutory remedy of appeal before the State Commission, available to them. Therefore, we are not inclined to entertain the writ petition. At this stage, the counsel for the petitioners submitted that the petitioners would file appeal before the State Commission and he prayed to grant some time. In the circumstances, we deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition granting six weeks’ time to the petitioners to file appeal along with application for stay, before the State Commission, against the impugned order passed by the 1st respondent. On such appeal being filed, the State Commission shall either dispose of the stay application or the appeal itself and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. Till such time, there shall be interim stay of all further proceedings pursuant to the impugned order. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________ N.V.
