Sidhrath Consturction & Ors vs D.T.Vora & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission improperly entertained complaints involving intricate questions of fact that should have been resolved by a civil court. The Court set aside the Commission's order and remitted the cases for fresh adjudication, allowing parties to present oral and documentary evidence. The Court mandated that the Commission resolve the petitions within one year, considering the twelve-year delay since the complaints were filed.
