                                           C.A.No.3556 of 2009

                       (B.N. Agrawal, G.S Singhvi and Dr.B.S Chauhan JJJ.)

                                                  14.05.2009

                                                   ORDER

1. Leave granted.

2. By the impugned order, the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission [for
short, "National Commission"] has dismissed the revision application against the order
passed by the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission [for short, "State
Commission"] whereby the State Commission refused to condone the delay in filing the
appeal.

3. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the records, we are of the view
that the State Commission was not justified in refusing to condone the delay.

4. Accordingly, the appeal is allowed, impugned orders are set aside and delay in filing the
appeal before the State Commission is condoned. Now, the State Commission shall decide
the appeal on merits in accordance with law after giving opportunity of hearing to the parties.
