THE HON'BLE MR JUSTICE VILAS V. AFZULPURKAR WRIT PETITION NO : 17412 of 2000 O R D E R: The petitioner has questioned the order of the District Consumer Forum, Chittoor in C.D.No.241 of 1998 dated 26.4.2000 on several grounds. The petitioner contends that against the aforesaid order an appeal lies to the State Commission and it is averred in the affidavit that the petitioner has already filed an appeal before the State Commission. But as the State Commission was not functioning at that time, the petitioner has invoked the jurisdiction of this Court under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. By the order of this Court dated 19.9.2000, while admitting the writ petition, interim stay was granted. However, the situation, as existed on the date of filing of the writ petition, no more exists as the State Commission is very much functioning now. The contention of the petitioner is that he has already filed an appeal along with an application for stay before the State Redressal Commission as long ago as on 6.7.2000, but, there is no information forthcoming from the petitioner as to the status of the said appeal and whether any order of stay has been passed by the Commission. However, in view of the fact that the State Commission is very much functioning, the writ petition is disposed of giving liberty to the petitioner to move the appeal before the A.P. State Commission, for appropriate relief, within a period of fours weeks from today, if not already filed, and, seek appropriate orders from the State Commission. The interim orders passed by this Court, therefore, would stand vacated after a period of four weeks. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. ____________________ VILAS V.AFZULPURKAR,J 3rd December, 2008 PNV
