Cuttack: The Orissa high court on Monday chided the Jharsuguda District Consumer Commission for passing an interim order under Consumer Protection Act, 2019 restraining auction of properties mortgaged by a defaulter company for the recovery of loan amount.
The two-judge bench of Justices Debabrata Dash and V Narasingh said, “This court fervently hopes that while dealing with such special Acts, the consumer commissions will refrain from judicial adventurism of the present nature which we strongly disapprove.”
The bench further imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh on the proprietor of the company and directed him to deposit the amount in the welfare fund of Jharsuguda District Bar Association within four weeks.
