                                                FINDINGS.

 

On perusal of the  complaint petition this  forum observed  that the matters relating to the refund of   price a sum of Rs. 582.18 towards  sleeper ticket and  compensation  of   Rs.1,00,000/-  towards  cancellation  of train  Under section-13 of the Railway Claims Tribunal  Act, 1987 will not come under the purview of the C.P. Act, 1986.  This forum has lack of jurisdiction to entertain the  above dispute  and adjudicate  the same under the provisions  of the C.P. Act, 1986.  The case is not maintainable in view of the above discussion.

The grievance of the complainant can be raised  before the appropriate court of law and not before this forum. We  do not  think  proper to go  into merit of this case.

Hence, the claim of the   complainant can not be accepted under the provisions of the C.P. Act. It is open to  complainant   ordinary remedy to approach proper forum.       

 

So  to meet the  ends of justice    the following order is passed.

 

ORDER.

          In the result with these observations, findings, discussion  the complainant  is free to approach the court of competent  having  its jurisdiction.   Parties are left to bear their own cost.  Accordingly the case  is closed.
