Upadhyay, learned Additional C.S.C. for the respondent no. 1. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought a writ in the nature of certiorari quashing the notice and summoning order dated 9.10.2009 (Annexure No. 1 to the writ petition) issued by the District Consumer Forum, Dehradun. The writ petition has been filed on the ground that the Consumer Forum has no jurisdiction to consider the complaint and issue notice for summoning order. The petitioner may raise objection before the Forum regarding the jurisdiction. The notice was issued to this effect. The petitioner had ample opportunity to file the objection against the notice. It is also mentioned in the notice itself. The writ petition is devoid of merit. 2 However, the petitioner would be at liberty to raise this objection before the District Consumer Forum, Dehradun and if the objection is raised, it is directed that the Forum shall decide the issue of jurisdiction after hearing the petitioner. With the said direction the writ petition is dismissed. All the pending applications stand disposed of accordingly. (B.S.Verma, J.) 28.10.2009 RMY
