3 Appeal No.1604 to 1606 of 2018
3. Commission heard learned counsel on record. Now we
have to examine whether E.P.No.15 to 17 of 2018 respectively
pending on the file of District Consumer Disputes Redressal
Commission, Belagavi for execution of the award passed in the
respective complaints could be executable against the appellant
herein on the given facts found from the impugned orders?

appellant herein is neither a Secretary nor a person to be sue or
to be sued against whom Non Bailable warrant issued by the
Commission below in E.P.Nos.15 to 17 of 2018 respectively, as
such would submit, such order is contrary to facts and law is
liable to be set aside. In this regard, we would like to refer
herein that the Hon’ble National Consumer Disputes Redressal
Commission in R.P.No.3356/2018 in a case filed by one
Mr.K.B.Magdum, who is none other Respondent No.2 herein to
decide these cases. In these appeals could see were filed
against Balesh Shivappa and two others, who are none other
the first and second respondent besides appellant herein. The
appellant questioned the legality of the order dated 20.09.2018
passed in Appeal No.1195/2017 of this Commission. It is
4 Appeal No.1604 to 1606 of 2018
