Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the maintainability of a Revision Petition under Section 21(b) of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, in the context of execution proceedings initiated by a complainant against an order of the State Commission. The court held that such a petition is maintainable before the National Commission, thereby clarifying the jurisdictional scope of the National Commission in consumer disputes. The outcome reinforces the rights of consumers to seek redressal at higher levels of the judicial hierarchy.
