casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: Muneesh Devi v. U.P. Power Corporation Ltd. Outcome: The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, set aside the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission's order, and condoned the delay in filing the consumer complaint. The case was remitted to the National Commission for disposal on merits. Key Facts: Muneesh Devi's husband suffered fatal burn injuries (85% burns) in 2000 from a transformer explosion caused by U.P. Power Corporation's negligence. After failed attempts through civil courts (dismissed for unpaid court fees), High Court petition, and Supreme Court Special Leave Petition, she filed a consumer complaint in 2002—approximately 2.5 years after the incident. The National Commission dismissed it as time-barred under Section 24A of the Consumer Protection Act. Next Steps: The National Commission must now decide the compensation claim on merits, considering the appellant's circumstances as an illiterate widow with three minor children left in financial hardship.
