1.            The complainant seeking redressal in respect of a vehicle purchased with the financial assistance of KVR Bajaj finance during the year 2012. The opposite party filed IA 190/23, challenging the maintainability of the complaint.  The contention of the opposite party is that the financial assistance vide loan agreement executed in the year 2012 was envisaged to repay the loan amount within 42 instalments.  The installment has to start on 10/02/2013 and to end 2016.  The complainant filed this complaint only in the year 2023 i.e on 16/01/2023. The complainant is liable to file this complaint on or before 2018 July 19th. Hence there is bar for filing the complaint considering the limitation period.

2.         The perusal of the complaint itself does not reveal a specific cause of action and the averments are not  constitute  a cause of action  to be considered  under the Consumer Protection Act. The complainant himself submitted in the complaint that the present complaint is filed after 10 years since no body accepted his complaint earlier.

3.         Hence, we find that there is merit in the contention of the opposite party in IA 190/ 23 that the complaint is time barred one and so we dismiss this complaint.

Dated this  19^th   day of July , 2023.
