sometimes may happen like this ,so  better to file in tthe conditions under PIL ,in the high court , u should get justice. but u should file all the necesary documents and  facts of the case before court.

Free service doesnot come under consumer protection Act as said by a 5 member bench of Supreme Court in IMA Vs. V.P.Shanta. Hence, there is no infirmity in State Commission's order.
