PER SHRI A. Z. KHWAJA, HON’BLE PRESIDING MEMBER.
1. Applicant No. 1- Devshankar Khanna and applicant No. 2- Mrs. Madhuri Devshankar Khanna/ Original complainants have preferred the present Miscellaneous Application for grant of differential amount of Rs. 1,54,169/- which was not granted by the State Consumer Commission, Circuit Bench, Nagpur in Consumer Complaint No. CC/16/128.
2. Applicants have contended that they were original complainants in complaint case No. CC/16/128 which was filed against the non applicant /O.P. namely Sahara Prime City Ltd. Applicants have contended that they had paid the entire consideration amount to the non applicant along with service tax and other expenses but despite payment of consideration no construction was carried out of the unit purchased and so the consumer complaint had come to be filed. Applicants have contended that they had applied for refund of entire consideration amount and the consumer complaint filed by them were disposed of by the State Consumer Commission, Circuit Bench, Nagpur by common order passed on 26/02/2019. Applicants have taken a plea that they were awarded refund of Rs. 26,96,400/- only but the other amounts mentioned in the complaint in the last column of the table were ignored and were not paid . According to the applicants they were granted refund of Rs. 26,96,400/- whereas they were entitled for sum of Rs. 28,50,569/- and so there was a difference of amount of Rs. 1,54,169/-. Along with application the present applicants have also placed on record one copy of common order which was passed by the State Consumer Commission, Circuit Bench, Nagpur on 26/02/2019 wherein the case of the present applicants was considered along with nine other complaints which were disposed of by the common order by bench comprising Hon’ble Mr. B.A. Shaikh, as Presiding Member and Mrs. J.D. Yengal, as Member.
3. After filing of the application notice of the same was served on the non applicants and they have opposed the application with the sole contention that the application filed by the applicants is not maintainable in law.
4. I have heard learned advocate Mr. Sangolkar for the applicants. Admittedly, the present applicant Nos. 1&2 were the original complainants along with 9 other complainants whose complaints had come to be allowed by common order by my learned predecessor on 26/02/2019.
5. In short the applicants have raised a ground that the certain amounts which were claimed by the present applicants were not considered while passing the common order dated 26/02/2019 by my learned predecessors. In my humble opinion in case the present applicants were aggrieved by the common order dated 26/02/2019 passed by my learned predecessors then it was open to the present applicants to prefer the appeal against the same before the higher Forum but instead of preferring any appeal or challenging the common order dated 26/02/2019 the present applicants have moved this Miscellaneous Application before me. It is pertinent to note that the applicants has not mentioned under what provision they have moved the present application for grant of differential amount. Needless to mention the provision under old Consumer Protection Act, 1986 does not provide for any review of the order passed and once the common order has come to be passed on 26/02/2019, the succeeding bench had no jurisdiction to deal with the same. As such the application filed by the applicant Nos. 1&2 itself is not maintainable in law. Application therefore stands dismissed.
