ORDER

 

File taken up by Video Conferencing.

 

2.     The complainant has filed the present complaint against the OP under section 12 of Consumer Protection Act, 1986, alleging deficiency in services and claiming a sum of Rs.13499/-  besides other relief

3.     Argument on the admissibility of the complaint on the point of territorial jurisdiction heard. It is submitted by the complainant that  office of OP is situated at Barakhamba Lane, Connaught Place, New Delhi,  within the territorial jurisdiction of this Forum, so this Forum was competent to adjudicate the matter.

4.     In the present case, the complainant is residing at Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh from where he purchased/booked the washing machine through online.  The complainant has failed to place on record any document which proves that any cause of action arose from the office of the OP situated at Connaught Place, New Delhi,  hence, no cause of action or part of it arose within the Territorial Jurisdiction of this District Forum.

 

5.     We are, therefore, of the view that this Forum does not have the territorial jurisdiction to entertain the complaint for want of territorial jurisdiction in view of the judgment of Hon’ble Supreme Court decided  on 20/10/2009  in Sonic Surgical versus National Insurance Co. Ltd Civil Appeal No. 1560 of 2004. The complaint is, therefore, directed to be returned to the complainant along with all annexure against acknowledgment. A copy of the complaint be retained for records. Complaint is accordingly, disposed off in above terms. The copy of the order be sent to complainant free of cost by post. Orders be also sent to www.confonet.nic.in. File be consigned to record room.

Pronounced in open Forum on14/10/2020.
