Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission erred in summarily dismissing the appellant's complaint on the grounds of limitation without issuing notice to the respondent or considering the petition for condonation of delay. The Court found that the dismissal was unjustified and remitted the matter back to the National Commission for a proper hearing on the issue of limitation. The appeal was allowed, and the impugned order was set aside, ensuring that the parties are given an opportunity to present their case.
