ORDER

Heard. Since, a paltry sum of Rs.10,000/- only, is involved in the present case, this Commission is not inclined to entertain this petition in view of the decision of the Apex Court in urgaon Gramin Bank Vs. Khazani and another, IV (2012) CPJ 5 (SC), where Apex Court observed; . Number of litigations in our country is on the rise, for small and trivial matters, people and sometimes Central and State Governments and their instrumentalities Banks, nationalized or private, come to courts may be due to ego clash or to save the Officersskin. Judicial system is over-burdened, naturally causes delay in adjudication of disputes. Mediation centers opened in various parts of our country have, to some extent, eased the burden of the courts but we are still in the tunnel and the light is far away. On more than one occasion, this court has reminded the Central Government, State Governments and other instrumentalities as well as to the various banking institutions to take earnest efforts to resolve the disputes at their end. At times, some give and take attitude should be adopted or both will sink. Unless, serious questions of law of general importance arise for consideration or a question which affects large number of persons or the stakes are very high, Courts jurisdiction cannot be invoked for resolution of small and trivial matters. We are really disturbed by the manner in which those types of matters are being brought to courts even at the level of Supreme Court of India and this case falls in that category. 3. Above quoted observations of the Apex Court, with all force are fully applicable to the facts and circumstances of the present case. 4. Moreover, both the fora below have given concurrent findings of the facts, which are against the petitioner. 5. Under these circumstances, as a paltry amount of Rs.10,000/- only is involved and the petitioner being a nationalized bank, this Commission is not inclined to entertain this revision. However, the question of law raised in this petition, is kept open to be decided in an appropriate case. 6. With the above observations, present revision petition stands disposed of. 7. Dasti to both parties.
