Cicily Kallarackal vs Vehicle Factory

The Supreme Court held that the High Court lacked jurisdiction to entertain writ petitions under Article 226 against orders of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, as a statutory appeal is provided under the National Consumer Protection Act, 1986. The Court emphasized that allowing such petitions undermines the legislative intent of providing a statutory remedy. Additionally, the Court dismissed the petitions due to inordinate delays of 1314 days and 851 days in filing, finding the reasons provided insufficient for condonation of delay as per the principles established in Anshulal Aggarwal v. NOIDA.
