Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court granted leave and directed the revival of Special Civil Suit No. 358/1992, which had been withdrawn by the appellant during the pendency of proceedings before the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. The Commission dismissed the appellant's petition on grounds of limitation and availability of civil remedies, which were rendered moot due to the withdrawal. The Court emphasized the importance of allowing the civil suit to proceed, enabling the parties to raise all permissible claims and pleadings.
