O R D E R

The OP has moved an application for dismissal of complaint on the ground of Territorial Jurisdiction, stating that the address mention in the Memo of Parties is of MGF Metropolitan Mall, Saket, New Delhi, which comes under the jurisdiction of Qutub Institutional Area, Police Station and as such no cause of action has been arisen within the territorial jurisdiction of this Forum.

Perusal of the file shows that the Holiday agreement was signed and payments were made at the office of the OP i.e. MGF Metropolitan Mall, Saket, New Delhi, which does not fall under the territorial jurisdiction of this Forum.

On the issue of territorial jurisdiction, we are guided by the Hon’ble National Commission in Revision Petition bearing No.575/18 was filed by the petitioner Sh. Prem Joshi against order of Hon’ble State Commission dated 1.11.2017 titled as Prem Joshi Vs. Jurasik Park Inn, in which the Hon’ble National Commission held as under on 1/3/2018:-

“In terms of Section 11 of the Consumer Protection Act, a complaint can be instituted inter-alia in a District Forum within the local limits of whose jurisdiction the cause of action only or in part arises.  The case of the complainant is that the ticket for visiting the amusement park was purchased by him online in his office in Karol Bagh and it is the District Forum at Tis Hazari has territorial jurisdiction over the mattes in which cause of action arises in Karol Bagh.  The cause of action is bundle of facts which a person will have to prove in order to succeed in the Lis.  Therefore, in order to succeed in the consumer complaint, the complainant will necessarily have to prove the purchase of the ticket in entering amusement park situated at Sonepat.  Since the tickets was allegedly purchased at the office of the complainant situated in Karol Bagh, the Distict Forum having territorial jurisdiction over Karol Bagh area would have the requisite jurisdiction to entertain the consumer complaint”.

In the light of the judgment of Hon’ble National Commission titled as Prem Joshi Vs. Jurasik Part Inn in Revision Petition No.575/18 and the legal position discussed above, we hold that this District Forum has no territorial jurisdiction to entertain and adjudicate the present complaint. Let the complaint be returned to the complainant along with documents for presenting before the appropriate Forum in accordance with law.

Copy  of   the order may  be  forwarded  to  the  complainant  to the case free of cost as statutorily required. File be consigned to Record Room.

 

Announced in open Forum on 24/12/2019.

The orders be uploaded on www.confonet.nic.in.
