Thus, the Court stated that the letters patent appeal was not maintainable and dismissed the present petition.<\/p>\n<h3>Background<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">In the present case, the appellant&#8217;s petition was dismissed, which was preferred against orders dated 20-12-2023 and 30-10-2024 passed by the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (&#8216;National Commission&#8217;). The delay in filing the appeal under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9000214317\" target=\"_blank\">Consumer Protection Act, 2019<\/a> was not condoned and the appeal filed by the appellant was dismissed on that count.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Single Judge while dismissing the petition observed that no interference in the orders passed in any Tribunal\/Authority under Article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001574969\" target=\"_blank\">226<\/a>\/<a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001574971\" target=\"_blank\">227<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726967\" target=\"_blank\">Constitution<\/a> would be permissible unless the order appeared to be without jurisdiction, or it suffered from any perversity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The first and foremost question before this Court was to whether instant appeal instituted under Clause 10 of the Letters Patent Appeal was maintainable.<\/p>\n<h3>Analysis, Law, and Decision<\/h3>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court after referring to the Clause 10 of the Letters Patent Appeal stated that a bare perusal of the provisions would reveal that Letters Patent Appeal would not lie against a judgment passed by the Single Judge in exercise of appellate jurisdiction or against an order made in exercise of or against an order made by the Court which was subject to superintendence of this Court. The Court stated that the jurisdiction available to this Court under Article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001574971\" target=\"_blank\">227<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726967\" target=\"_blank\">Constitution<\/a> was primarily in the nature of superintendence and accordingly the Letters Patent Appeal would not lie in the instant matter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that the petitioner had placed reliance on <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Advanioerlikon Ltd., v.

Firstly, any order passed by the National Commission was appealable under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9000214276\" target=\"_blank\">67<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9000214317\" target=\"_blank\">Consumer Protection Act, 2019<\/a> before Supreme Court and as such on the availability of the said statutory appellate remedy, a petition under Article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001574969\" target=\"_blank\">226<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726967\" target=\"_blank\">Constitution<\/a> might not be entertained.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Secondly, the Court stated that so far, the aforesaid judgment was concerned, the said judgment was rendered in the matter emanating from the orders passed by the Industrial Court under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-9000103395\" target=\"_blank\">Bombay Industrial Relations Act, 1946<\/a> and under the scheme of the said Act, the remedy of appeal\/revision etc. was not provided. Therefore, in such a matter, even if a petition was styled as a petition under Article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001574971\" target=\"_blank\">227<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726967\" target=\"_blank\">Constitution<\/a>, the same could be considered and decided by the High Court in exercise of its writ jurisdiction under Article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001574969\" target=\"_blank\">226<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002726967\" target=\"_blank\">Constitution<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thus, the Court stated that the letters patent appeal was not maintainable and dismissed the present petition.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Northern Railways v.
