O R D E R

(Passed on 29.01.2020)

                   The following order of the Commission was delivered by Justice Shantanu S. Kemkar, President:

                    Heard learned counsel for the appellant on the question of admission.

                    This appeal arises out of order dated 12.12.2019 in case no.201/2019 passed by the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Rajgarh, (for short ‘Forum’), whereby the Forum has dismissed the complaint filed by the appellant / complainant on the ground that the same is not maintainable, taking  into consideration the fact that  in respect to the subject vehicle, the dispute between the parties was already been decided by the Arbitrator vide award dated 31.03.2015 of which execution case is pending before the Civil Judge, Class I. 

2.                Having heard learned counsel for the appellant and going through the impugned order, we find that before filing of the complaint,  the Arbitrator  of the case before whom the arbitration proceedings were pending, had passed an award on 31.03.2015 of which execution case no.EXB/20/2017 is pending before the Civil Judge, Class I.

3.                In the circumstances, in our considered view the Forum has committed no error in dismissing the complaint placing reliance on the law laid down by the National Commission in the case of  The Installment Supply Ltd. Vs. Kangra Ex-Serviceman Transport Co. & Anr., 2006 (3) CPR 339 (NC)  =  I (2007) CPJ 34 (NC).  This view also find support from yet another order of the National Commission in the case of S.Balwant Singh Vs. Vice Chairman, Kanpur Development Authority, 2007 (3) CPR 323 (NC) and the order passed by this Commission on 10.01.2019 in Appeal no.1325/2011 (Smt.Meena Khatri Vs. Sahara India Ltd.).

4.                Keeping in view the aforesaid settled legal position, in our considered view no interference is called for in the impugned order.

5.                The appeal fails and is therefore, dismissed.
