Girish Chandra Aggarwal vs Ramesh Prasad

The Supreme Court held that the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission erred in dismissing the revision application against the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission's refusal to condone the delay in filing an appeal. The Court found that the State Commission was not justified in its decision and thus allowed the appeal, set aside the impugned orders, and directed the State Commission to decide the appeal on merits after providing an opportunity for hearing. This ruling emphasizes the importance of ensuring access to justice by allowing delays to be condoned when justified.
