Petitioner was the opposite party. Respondent/ complainant alleged that for the journey on 28^th April, 2007 from Bangalore to New Delhi by flight No. DN 669, departing at 08.50 a.m. he had booked the ticket with the petitioner on 9^th February, 2007. He also booked the ticket with the petitioner for his onward journey from New Delhi to Patna on the same date. Respondent further alleged that when he reached Bangalore airport he was informed that the flight was no longer operational. Though he was accommodated in the flight leaving at 04.00 p.m. but due to the cancellation of the flight of 08.50 a.m. he had to miss the flight from Delhi to Patna. At the time of cancellation of the ticket an amount of Rs.764/- was deducted. Respondent had to stay overnight in a hotel and had to suffer loss and mental agony. Complaint on contest by the petitioner was allowed by the District Forum vide order dated 15^th April, 2008 with directions to the petitioner to pay a consolidated amount of Rs.25,000/- by way of compensation to the respondent. Petitioner filed appeal against the forum’s order alongwith condonation application. Condonation application and the appeal were dismissed by the State Commission by order dated 19^th June, 2008. It is this order which is under challenge in this revision.

 

            Having heard Mrs. Rao, even assuming that there was sufficient cause to condone the delay in filing appeal before the State Commission on given facts, we do not find any illegality or jurisdictional error calling for interference in the revisional jurisdiction in the order passed by the fora below in awarding consolidated amount of Rs.25,000/- as compensation. Revision Petition is accordingly dismissed.
