Counsel for the petitioner heard. The impugned order of the State Commission, runs as follows :- “17.01.2014 Admit. Register. Issue notice to the respondent, fixing 24.02.2014. Steps be taken within three days. Heard on the stay application. The operation of the impugned judgment and order dated 13.12.2013 passed by the District Forum shall remain stayed subject to the condition that the appellants shall deposit 50% of the awarded amount with the District Forum, within a period of 30 days”. 2. Counsel for the petitioner submits that the complainant is not a ‘consumer’ and he has been asked to deposit 50% of the awarded amount. We see no flaw in the order passed by the State Commission. This is one of the conditions prescribed in the Act itself that he will have to deposit 50% of the awarded amount. 3. The said amount, on deposit, by the petitioner, shall not be disbursed by the District Forum, till the final disposal of the case. The District Forum shall keep the said amount in a short-term FDR, till disposal of the appeal. 4. The State Commission shall decide the issue whether, the complainant is a ‘consumer’ or not. The matter be expedited and be disposed of, preferably, within four months from the date of receipt of this order. 5. The petitioner shall deposit the amount accordingly, and the time stands extended by 15 days, from today. 6. IA 1676/2014, rejected. Revision Petition stands disposed of. Dasti. |
