UOI vs P S SANDHU — C.A. No. 1975/1998

Summary: The Supreme Court dismissed Union of India's appeal filed under Article 136 against a National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission judgment dated June 17, 1997. The Court found merit in the preliminary objection that the appeal should have been filed under Section 23 of the Consumer Protection Act within 30 days with condonation of delay if necessary. Since no such appeal was filed within the statutory period and no condonation application was made, the Court declined to entertain it under Article 136, though left the question of law open.
