Order

2. Heard the learned counsel appearing ^{for the} Complainant. ^Manifestly,

the consideration that has been paid by ^the Complainant ^{towards valuc of the}

goods ^{that have been} acquired ^{is about Rs.2.17 Crores. The authoritative}

1S judgment

which

holds

the ground insofar as the present complaint ^is

concerned, ^{is the one rendered in "Ambrish Kumar Shukla & 21 others Vs.}

Ferrous Infrastructure Put.Ltd.," I (2017) CPJ 1 (NC) which categorically

laid down that the value of the goods that is to be taken into consideration for

determining ^the pecuniary jurisdiction ^{of the different hierarchies under the}

Consumer Protection Act, 1986. Therefore, the complaint in the present Forum

is not maintainable and hence the same is returned for want of pecuniary

jurisdiction. Registry shall return the original papers of the complaint along

with the court fees paid, for being presenting in the appropriate Forum, if he is

so advised.
