BY ADV. SRI.K.P.DANDAPANI, SENIOR ADVOCATE SRI.MILLU DANDAPANI RESPONDENT(S): --------------- K.S.VIJAYAN, KANATTU HOUSE, MUNDANMUDI P.O., VANNAPPURAM, IDUKKI DISTRICT. THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 07/07/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: V.GIRI, J. ---------------------------------------- W.P.(C).No.18789 of 2009 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 7th day of July, 2009. JUDGMENT The petitioner was the opposite party in a complaint filed by the respondent herein before the Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Idukki. Against the order passed by the District Forum, the petitioner preferred an appeal before the State Commission, which has also been dismissed as per Ext.P2. Exts.P1 and P2 have been challenged in this writ petition. 2. I am not inclined to consider the petitioner's contention on merits, as the petitioner has an efficacious remedy before the National Commission under Section 21 (b) of the Consumer Protection Act. Writ petition is, therefore, disposed of, with liberty to the petitioner to avail of the alternate remedy available under the statute. Sd/- (V.GIRI) JUDGE sk/ //true copy// P.S. to Judge
