Headnote:The matter pertains to an appeal execution filed under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, challenging an order of the District Consumer Commission, Dharwad. The appellant, a judgment debtor, faced the issuance of a non-bailable warrant and subsequent arrest due to non-payment of the award amount. The court noted that while payments were absent in the current execution, the appellant had demonstrated compliance in other execution petitions. The primary issue was whether the non-bailable warrant should be recalled and if the judgment debtor should be granted additional time to satisfy the award. The court reasoned that considering the prompt payment in different execution petitions, the judgment debtor should be granted a reasonable window to clear the dues to ensure justice and equity.
