KHANWILKAR, AND S.S. SHINDE, JJ. DATE : 17TH FEBRUARY, 2010 Heard Counsel for the petitioners. 2. In our opinion, no fault can be found with the view expressed by the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum that there is no provision to frame preliminary issue. Notably, the Forum has not opined that it has jurisdiction or that it shall not decide the issue of jurisdiction. We have no doubt that since the issue regarding its jurisdiction has been raised by the 2 petitioners, the Forum will have to address the same on its own merits, in accordance with law alongwith other issues at appropriate stage. 3. In the circumstances, these petitions are disposed of. ( S.S. SHINDE, J. ) (A.M. KHANWILKAR,J.) sut/FEB10/wp1043.10
