Ashok Thapar vs Supreme Indosaigon Associates

The Supreme Court held that the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission erred in dismissing the appellant's complaint without allowing an opportunity to amend it. The Court emphasized that procedural fairness requires granting time for amendments rather than outright dismissal at the admission stage. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, the impugned order was set aside, and the matter was remitted to the National Commission for further proceedings.
