The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, New Delhi bench of Binoy Kumar and Justice Saroj Yadav held that the filing or pendency of a criminal complaint cannot be used as a ground to condone delay in initiating proceedings under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. Subsequently, the Complainant filed a complaint before the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission-II, Kolkata against Eastern Railways. Feeling aggrieved, Eastern Railways filed a revision petition before the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, New Delhi. Eastern Railways contended that both the District Commission and the State Commission failed to consider that the complaint was time-barred which was filed beyond the two-year limitation period.
