PUNJAB URBAN PLANNING & DEV. AUTHORITY vs TAVINDER KUMAR AHLUWALIA — C.A. No. 54/2004

Case Summary: PUNJAB URBAN PLANNING & DEV. AUTHORITY v. TAVINDER KUMAR AHLUWALIA The Supreme Court granted special leave to appeal and set aside the orders of both the National and State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commissions, which had refused to condone a 26-day delay in filing an appeal. The Court found this refusal unjustified, citing its own precedent (Civil Appeal No. 9764 of 1996) where a 40-day delay was condoned. The Court restored the appeal to the State Commission's file for decision on merits, with the 26-day delay now condoned. No costs were imposed.
