U.P.AVAS EVAM VIKAS PARISHAD . vs MEERA ASTHANA — C.A. No. 1608/2011

Summary: The Supreme Court allowed U.P. Avas Evam Vikas Parishad's appeal against the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission's order. The Court found that the State Commission erred in rejecting the appellants' request to condone a 75-day delay in filing their appeal before the District Consumer Forum, and the National Commission similarly erred in refusing to set aside that order. The Court set aside both impugned orders, condoned the delay, and directed the State Commission to decide the appeal on merits after providing parties opportunity to file additional affidavits and documents and hear their advocates.
