          Argument heard. Proceed to pass the following

ORDER

          As per the own admission of the complainant the complainant had obtained the possession and running the shop without any interruption from and through a registered deed dt.27.01.2007. Hence, after accepting the possession and enjoyed the possession without any interruption the complainant severes the relationship of consumer with the respondent and after lapse of longer period of possession the complainant cannot raise dispute against the seller as a consumer. Hence, the present complaint is not a consumer complaint as defined under the Act. In the result we find that the complainant failed to prove he is a consumer as defined U/s.2(1) (d) of CP Act. Hence, complaint is dismissed. However, there lies no rub for the complainant to seek remedy before any other appropriate Forum or civil courts as per law.
