                                                         FINDINGS.

 

             During the course hearing  of the  C.C. case the learned counsel for the complainant has filed  copy of the  order of  hon’ble High Court vide case No. W.P© No. 21320/  2015 Dtd. 3.12.2015 which is marked as Annexure-I.  Further the learned counsel  for the  complainant submitted  in their  memo  that the  complainant has approached  the  Hon’ble High Court for the relief and prays the forum to close the present case.

            Perused the  order of the Hon’ble  High Court. On perusal of the High Court order this forum  observed when the case is sub-judice before the Hon’ble High Court on the same cause of action this forum has lack of jurisdiction  to continue the same before this forum. 

            From the aforesaid averments made by the complainant  it is noticed that the matter is sub-judice, pending disposal  by the Hon’ble  High Court.  In such a contingency the complainant  in the instant case  cannot seek a parallel remedy through this forum  in accordance with the judgement delivered by the Hon’ble National Commission in the case of U.Rajendran Vrs.  Tamil Nadu Mercantile Bank Ltd reported in CPR – 1992 (1) Page No. 504 where in the hon’ble National Commission observed “ Such filing of cases as on abuse  process of law”.  The complainant   is therefore directed to invoke the Hon’ble High Court for settlement of his claims  as the complaint on the same  subject matter  before this forum is not  maintainable.

            To meet the ends of justice the following order is passed.

                                                                        ORDER.

            In resultant the present petition  stands dismissed. Parties are left to bear their own cost.
