     Heard both sides today. Ld. Advocate for the OP No.2 submits that the Complainant Rajesh Chatterjee is the resident of village Mougram PS- Ketugram Dist- Purba Bardhaman.

      On the contrary the Ops are not resident of the district Murshidabad. The Ops do not carry on any business or have a branch office or personally works for gain within the jurisdiction of this District Commission. Such being the position this District Commission have no jurisdiction to try the instant complaint. He prays for dismissal of the instant complaint.

       Complainant is present. He submits that he does not reside within any place in the district of Murshidabad. He files the instant complaint as his house is nearest to the disctrict Commission of this district.
