Kerala High Court Says It Lacks 'Supervisory Jurisdiction' Over NCDRC

The Kerala High Court ruled that it does not have supervisory jurisdiction over the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) under Article 227 of the Indian Constitution. This article allows High Courts to oversee lower courts and tribunals, but the court clarified that its supervisory powers do not extend to the NCDRC. The ruling emphasizes that the NCDRC operates independently and is governed by its own statutes and regulations. This decision underscores the boundaries of the High Court's supervisory role and reaffirms the NCDRC's autonomy in handling consumer disputes.
