Mr. Justice G.G. Sohani, President—This appeal is directed against the order dated 16-7-1993 passed by the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Gwalior in Case No. 1530/92.

2. Briefly the complainant’s case was that the complainant received an order from M/s. P.T. Kewalram of Jakarta (Indonesia) to supply 2 sets of Electronic Slub Motion Attachment and corresponding letter of credit of U.S. $ 9000 of respondent No. 1 but respondent No. 1 refused to negotiate the letter of credit and hence the complainant was put to loss. The complainant, therefore, claimed compensation from the respondent No. 1 inter alia on the ground that the documents were forwarded by respondent No. 2 to respondent No. 1 in Bombay, and the same were rejected by respondent No. 1 at Bombay and hence no part of cause of action arose within the local limits of the District Forum, Gwalior. It was further contended that Opponent No. 1 had acted merely as the advising bank in respect of the subject letter of credit, and was justified in rejecting documents under the letter of credit in view of the provisions of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, 1983 Revision International Chamber of
