We find no merit in this writ petition. It appears that number of non-bailable warrants were issued against the petitioners in P.P No. 202 of 2000 in C.D No. 187 of 1998; P.P No. 203 of 2000 in C.D No. 188 of 1998; P.P No. 178 of 2000 in C.D No. 189 of 1998; P.P No. 179 of 2000 in C.D No. 190 of 1998; P.P No. 204 of 2000 in C.D No. 48 of 1999 and P.P No. 1 of 2001 in C.D No. 47 of 1999 on the file of the District Consumer Forum. As to what is the effect of the order passed by the learned District Judge, Mahabubnagar in I.A No. 2188 of 2000 in I.P No. 4 of 2000 is required to be gone into by the District Consumer Forum. The petitioners instead of approaching the District Consumer Forum have chosen to file this writ petition in which we find no merit. It shall be open to the petitioners to approach the District Consumer Forum, if they are so advised and seek appropriate relief and invite an order by duly placing the orders passed by the District Judge referred to hereinabove and any other material in support of their case. That the District Consumer Forum shall, in case the petitioners avail any such remedy, consider the same and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law. The Writ Petition shall accordingly stand dismissed. (B. Sudershan Reddy, J) 01..11..2004 (K.C.
