DATED : APRIL 8, 2011 Heard Shri Vishal Anand, learned Counsel for the petitioner, Shri Sambre, learned Government Pleader for the respondent no.1, and Shri Lalwani, learned Counsel for the respondent nos. 2 and 3. In the present petition, the petitioner is seeking direction to appoint Member/Presiding Officer of State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Nagpur Bench. Shri Sambre, learned Government Pleader states that the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission at Nagpur has already started 2 functioning. Shri Vishal Anand, learned Counsel for the petitioner, states that there is a stop gap arrangement made by the respondent no.1. However, there should be a permanent Bench at Nagpur. If State Government has appointed Member only as a stop-gap arrangement, we want the State Government to consider the issue seriously and appointment of Member must be made on a permanent basis so that the Commission can function properly and effectively. With these observations, the petition is disposed of. JUDGE JUDGE khj
