Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Andhra Pradesh State Consumer Redressal Commission erred in directing the appellant to present his complaint before the District Forum, as the District Forum's jurisdiction is limited to claims up to Rupees twenty lakhs. The Court found that the State Commission's order was unjustified and that the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission committed a serious error in confirming it. The appeal was allowed, and the matter was remitted to the State Commission for proper adjudication in accordance with law.
