Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission represented by its Registrar, by virtue of which, the A.P. State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission has remitted the matter to the District Forum for fresh disposal after giving an opportunity to both the parties and conduct denovo enquiry and to set aside the same as illegal. The learned counsel appearing for the petitioner contended that the appellate Forum ought not to have held that the dispute is a consumer dispute which observation is prejudicial to the Bank and in the teeth of this observation, the District Forum cannot decide the matter independently and it will be influenced by the orders passed by the A.P. State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. In the facts and circumstances, we are not inclined to go into the merits of the matter and District Consumer Forum should afford an opportunity of being heard to both the counsel and it shall decide the matter uninfluenced by any of the observations made by the A.P. State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. Accordingly, the District Forum is directed to dispose of the matter in accordance with law considering the scope and ambit of Sections and provisions of the Consumer Disputes Act including the question as to whether the Consumer Dispute is maintainable at all or not. Accordingly, the Writ Petition is disposed of. There shall be no order as to costs. _____________________________ GHULAM MOHAMMED, J ______________________________ NOOTY RAMAMOHANA RAO, J Dt. 26.08.2009 KA .....
