         Ranjit singh here in complainant has filed this complaint u/s 12 of the Consumer Protection Act for compensation of his car no. DL 3CBB1035 bearing Chasis No MAKGD 403066CRZN07182 for deficiency in service by OPs.   

        The OP-1  filed Application for dismissal of the complaint on the ground that the complainant has sold the vehicle in question during pendency of the complaint  without permission of this Forum.               

        We have heard councel for Op-1 and have gone through the record.

The OP-1 has submitted that the complainant sold the vehicle in question during  pendency of this complaint without permission of this Forum.   Therefore, the complainant is no more a consumer under the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act.   In support of  their submissions they placed reliance on copy of Registration Certificate (RC) of Car No. DL3CBB1035 Engine No. 22LDICORO6CRZJ10553. From perusal of the R.C it reveals that complainant has sold the vehicle during pendency of the complaint and  is no more owner of the vehicle. He has not taken permission of the forum for sale of the vehicle during pendency of the complainant. The Hon’ble National Commission in order dated 11.10.2013 passed in Revision Petition No.2622  of 2012 titled  M/s Honda Cars India Ltd. Vs. Jatinder Singh Madan  & Ors. after relying upon order dated 25.9.13 passed in R. P. No. 2562 of 2012 titled “ Tata Motors Ltd. & Anr. Vs. Hazoor Maharaja Baba Des Rajji Chela Baba Dewa Singhji (Radha Swami) & Anr.” and order dated 23.4.2013 passed in Appeal No.. 466/2008  titled “Rajiv Gulati Vs. Authorised Signatory  by the Hon’ble National Commission held that once vehicle is sold  during  pendency of complaint without permission for the Forum/SDRC/NC,the complainant does not remain consumer for the purposes of the Consumer Protection Act and complainant is liable to be dismissed.

                   Similar are facts of the present complaint.   The complainant has sold the vehicle in question during  pendency of the complaint without permission of the this Forum. Therefore, the complainant is not a consumer for the purposes of the Consumer Protection Act.   Hence, the complaint is not maintainable before this forum.

                                                                                    

                                                                                  

                                                                                      -3-

                   Resultantly, the complaint is hereby dismissed.

                        Order pronounced on   :

 

• Copy of order be sent to the concerned parties free of cost.
