This case was being adjourned to await the decision of the Supreme Court in an Appeal filed by the National Seeds Corporation challenging the jurisdiction of the consumer fora to entertain the complaint in view of the existence of the Seeds Act.  We had dismissed the appeal filed by National Seeds Corporation.  Thereafter, we have dealt with a number of similar cases on merits taking into consideration the judgement passed by this Commission in National Seeds Corporation vs. Nalia Narsimha Roa & connected matters. Supreme Court in subsequent judgements has also taken the same view in Haryana Seeds Development Corporation Ltd. vs. Sadhu & Anr. – 2005(2)Supreme 169.

          In this case, the respondent/complainant had purchased 18 Kg of onion seeds from the dealer of the producer, which is not in dispute.  State Commission has arrived at the conclusion which it based on the report of the expert of the laboratory, which clearly held the producer responsible for the loss caused due to inferior quality of seeds produced by it.  There is no material brought on record by the petitioner to rebut this expert opinion, in view of which, we find no infirmity in the order passed by the State Commission.  Dismissed.
