As the facts and point of law involved in all these revision petitions is the same and similar, revision petitions are disposed of by a common order. Facts are being taken from revision petition No.207 of 2012. Respondent/complainant who is a college student required a driving license i.e. Smart Card. On 18.12.2008 he applied to the Regional Transport Officer – opposite party no.1 – for issuance of the license with requisite documents. RO was required to take test and thereafter to send the documents to United Telecom Limited – opposite party no.3 – which was appointed by the Traffic Commissioner – opposite party no.2 – for issuance of Smart Card. However, opposite party Nos.1 & 3 failed to issue the Smart Card. He wrote to opposite party no.2 who also asked opposite party Nos. 1 & 3 to issue Smart Card but in vain. Aggrieved by this, respondent filed the complaint before the District Forum. Petitioner on being served put in appearance and took the stand that the complaint was not maintainable. That the dispute between the parties was not a consumer dispute. -3- District Forum overruling the objection raised by the petitioner allowed the complaint and directed the respondent to pay a compensation of Rs.1000/- along with costs of the equal amount. Not satisfied with the order passed by the District Forum, petitioner filed the appeal before the State Commission which has been dismissed. Though we find that the point raised by the petitioner that the dispute was not a consumer dispute is an arguable point and needs consideration, but keeping in view that the dispute involved is only of Rs.2,000/- only (Rs.1,000/- as compensation and Rs.1,000/- as costs) we decline to interfere with the impugned order as the costs of litigation would be much more than the amount involved and the respondents who are college students shall have to come all the way from Maharashtra, Nagpur to defend the case. Revision petitions are dismissed leaving the question of law left open. Orders passed by the State Commission be not taken as a precedent for future reference. |
