I am not inclined to consider the contentions of the petitioner on merits in as much as that the petitioner has efficacious remedy against the orders passed by the State Commission before the National Commission under Section 21 of the Consumer Protection Act. The writ petition is, therefore, closed without prejudice to the right of the petitioner to approach the National Commission under the Consumer Protection Act, if so advised and if otherwise possible.
