ORDER

C.C.No.578 of 2019

 

Sonia Pannu Vs. Vishal Mega Mart

 

Present:             Sh. Ashish Pannu, Advocate for the complainant.

                        Sh. Kamaljeet Dahiya, Advocate for OP.

                       

                        Written arguments not filed on behalf of the parties.  Admittedly, the main issue in the present complaint is qua the charging of amount by the Opposite party(hereinafter referred as to OP) for the carry bag. As per complainant, the OP was bound to provide the carry bag to its consumers free of cost. In this regard, the complainant has contended that it is imperative upon the OP to sell its items to its consumers in deliverable state and thus, OP is not justified while charging for the carry bag.

                             On the other hand, the OP has justified its act of charging for the carry bag taking several pleas in its written arguments. The learned counsel has contended that the issue involving the charging by the shopkeeper for the carry bag is pending adjudication before the Apex Court in the case titled as Reliance Retail Limited Vs. Dharma Pal & Anr. SLP(C ) No.18376 of 2021 and thus, it has been prayed that the case may be adjourned till issue is finally adjudicated by the Hon’ble Apex Court.                      

                     Since the mute question qua the charging of the amount for the carry bag by the OP is pending adjudication before the Hon’ble Apex Court in the SLP(supra), it would be proper to adjourn the case Sine Die till the controversy is finally settled by the Hon’ble Apex Court and it is ordered accordingly. However, it is made clear that either of the party to the complaint shall be at liberty to get the present complaint restored at its original number as and when the controversy involved in the present case is finally adjudicated by the Hon’ble Apex Court.
