Versus The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Solan and another ……..Respondents. Coram : The Hon’ble Mr. Justice Kurian Joseph, Chief Justice The Hon’ble Mr. Justice V.K. Ahuja, Judge For the petitioner: Mr. Lalit K.Sharma, Advocate. Justice Kurian Joseph, C.J. (Oral): The challenge is on Annexure P-1 order passed by the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Solan. According to the petitioner, the Forum has acted wholly without jurisdiction. It is submitted that there is no deficiency in service and relationship of the petitioner and the private respondent is wholly governed by the contract between the parties (Annexure P-6). But it is seen from the order passed by the District Forum that there is deficiency in service. Therefore, it cannot be said that the order is passed without any jurisdiction. The findings may be wrong, but that does not mean that the order passed is without jurisdiction. Therefore, it is for the petitioner to pursue its statutory remedy of appeal before the State Commission. 2. Without prejudice to the liberty as above, this writ petition is dismissed making it clear that the time taken by the 2 petitioner before this Court in prosecuting this writ petition shall stand excluded while computing the period of limitation. 3. With these observations, the writ petition stands disposed of, so also the pending application(s) if any. Copy dasti. (Justice Kurian Joseph), Chief Justice (Justice V.K. Ahuja), December 7, 2010 Judge (tilak/pankaj)
