Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission is obligated to consider the merits of a complaint and cannot transfer it to the District Forum solely based on the perceived high amount of compensation claimed. The Court found that both the State Commission and the National Commission erred in their decisions, leading to the appeal being allowed. The orders were set aside, and the matter was remitted to the State Commission for a fresh hearing.
