The Supreme Court dismissed the appeal under Section 23 of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, challenging the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission's order which dismissed the complaint as barred by limitation. The Court noted that the complaint was filed on 26th August, 1996, well beyond the limitation period following the last claim on 16th May, 1994. The appellant's argument for condonation of delay due to incarceration was found unpersuasive as no evidence was provided to substantiate the claim, leading to the conclusion that the Commission acted correctly in dismissing the complaint.
