Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission erred in dismissing the complaint in limine without notice to the respondent, as the appellant's claims involved disputed questions of fact that warranted consideration. The Court emphasized that the Commission must provide an opportunity for the parties to present their case before making a determination. The appeal was allowed, and the matter was remanded for further proceedings before the Commission, ensuring adherence to the principles of natural justice.
