ORDER BY HON’BLE PRESIDENT- MR. P.K. PADHI:

                                                                                               JUDGMENT

            Complainant has field the consumer complaint U/s.12 of Consumer Protection Act, 1986 seeking redressal of his grievance.

            Matter was heard and order reserved on 08.3.2019 but not pronounced for which fresh notice was issued but none appears.

            The grievance of complainant U/s.12 of Consumer Protection Act, 1986 is against RTO, Jagatsinghpur for mistake in R.C. Book.

            RTO is govt. authority and not a business entity and collecting Revenue/Tax/Fees. By paying Revenue/Tax/Fees one cannot claim to be a consumer. As such we find no merit in the consumer complaint and as such the same is dismissed.

            But while dismissing the consumer complaint we observe that if there is any genuine mistake in the R.C. Book the same may be corrected by RTO and we hope and trust that the RTO, Jagatsinghpur shall do the needful within 60 days from the date of receipt of the order and it is the responsibility of complainant to communicate the order to opposite party.

            Pronounced in the open Commission on this 28^th Dec.,2023.
