R.N.MITTAL, B.L.ANAND, AVTAR PENNATHUR
USHA RANI GUPTA – Appellant
Versus
GENERAL MANAGER – Respondent
Mr. Justice R.N. Mittal, President— This is a review application by the complainant against the order of the Commission dated 10.4.90. It is alleged in the application that the Commission observed in the order, “it was never the case of the appellant that her registered address with the respondent was “2 Babar Road, New Delhi, as sought to be urged in the grounds of appeal”. It is further alleged that it was an error apparent on the face of the record. The complainant has consequently prayed that the order of the Commission be reviewed.
2. We have heard the agent for the complainant. In the Consumer Protection Act no power of review has been conferred on the State Commission. It is well-settled that unless a power of review is conferred on a Court it has no inherent power to review its earlier order. In this view we are supported by a decision of the Supreme Court in case Patel Narshi Thakershi and Ors. v. Pradvumansinghji Arjunsinghji AIR 1970 Supreme Court 1273. In that case judicial work was entrusted by the State to an Officer under Saurashtra Lands Reforms Act, 1951. He set-aside the order of the Government passed earlier. It was observed by Hegde J. speaking for the Court
