MR. PRAVAT KUMAR PADHI, PRESIDENT:-

          Complainant has filed the  C.C.Case No. 29/2023 U/s-35 of C.P.Act, 2019 seeking Rs. 2 Lakhs towards the loss & compensation for nonpayment of License fees (Rent) for installation of Telephone Tower.

          The Relationship between Complainants and Ops is not that of consumer & Trader/Business entity but that of Land lord and Tenant /Licensor & License by virtue of an agreement and no consideration has been paid by Complainants rather Ops are paying rent as such at no stretch of imagination complainants can be said to be consumers rather Ops are paying & can claim to be consumer of Complainants, which is also not correct in view of the settled position of law. The dispute between both parties arises out of an agreement and this Commission has no jurisdiction to adjudicate the dispute as there is no element before us to prove that Complainants are consumers as defined U/s-2(7) of C.P.Act, 2019.  

As such the Complainants fails to make out a case and accordingly the C.C.Case No. 29/2023 is dismissed. No order as to cost.

                              Issue extract of the order to the parties concerned.   

          Pronounced in the open Commission, on this the 13^th day of December,2023.

                            I, agree.
