Revision Petition, NCDRC Can't Interfere With Lower Fora's Order Unless Clear Error In Law: NCDRC

The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, under AVM J. Rajendra, affirmed that its revisional jurisdiction is constrained, allowing interference with lower court orders only in cases of clear legal or procedural errors. The case involved a complaint where an engineer, contracted to build a house, delivered incomplete work and faced legal action. \r

Despite the engineer's arguments, including a claim of completion per contract and an inspection report favoring him, lower courts upheld the complainant's claims due to substantial evidence. The National Commission, citing legal precedents like Rubi Dutta vs. United India Insurance Co. Ltd., emphasized its role in ensuring legality and procedural fairness, dismissing the engineer's revision petition due to the absence of such errors.
