Delay in Filing appeal with prayer for condoning the delay

since there is omission in procedural law in review if proper grounds are established good results are expected.

Dear Paritosh,

you need not worry, you can file your revision before the National Commission with in time limit of dissmissal of apeeal and definitely the national commission will listion your case.

I do agree with the views of Mr. Ramdas.

Section 21 of the Consumer Protection Act confers jurisdiction on the National Commission to set aside an order of a State Commission if it has failed to exercise jurisdiction vested in it by law. Proviso to section 15 of the Act nowhere says that an application for condonation of delay is mandatory. If there is sufficient material before the State Commission that there was sufficient cause for the appellant for not filing the appeal within prescribed period, it may entertain the appeal. Otherwise also, now a days the Superior Courts are laying stress on deciding the lis on merits instead of technical grounds. So, if the matter is good on merits, the revision may be allowed.
