ORDER

This Review Application has been filed by the Complainant praying for review of the Order, dated 07.11.2022 passed by this Commission wherein the Review Application No. 130/2022 seeking review of the Order dated 17.05.2022 of this Commission, was disposed of by observing as under:-

“        The Written Version has been filed by the Opposite Party on 13.04.2022, which is taken on record, as it has been filed within the statutory period after excluding the period of stay granted by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Suo Motu Writ Petition (Civil) No. 3 of 2020 in re: Cognizance for Extension of Limitation wherein the period of limitation has been suspended for filing petitions/applications/ suits/ appeals/all other quasi proceedings before any Courts/Tribunals or any Authority due to Covid-19 pandemic with effect from 15.03.2020 till 28.02.2022.  The R.A. No.130 of 2022 stands disposed of accordingly.”
 

2.      The main ground on which the review of the Order dated 07.11.2022 has been sought by the Review Petitioner is that in terms of the Office Order No.7 of 2022 dated 14.01.2022 issued by this Commission in pursuance of the Hon’ble Supreme Court’s Order dated 10.01.2022 in M.A.No.21 of 2022 in M.A. No. 665 of 2021 in Suo Moto Writ Petition (Civil) No. 3 of 2020 (Cognizance for extension of Limitation), the Written Statement filed by the Opposite Party on 13.04.2022 cannot be construed to be filed within the period of limitation as prescribed under the Consumer Protection Act 1986/2019. In support of his submission, he has further placed reliance upon the decision of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Sagufa Ahmed & Ors. Vs. Upper Assam Plywood Product Pvt. Ltd. (Civil Appeal No. 3007-2008 of 2020 decided on18.09.2020) and various clarificatory Orders passed by the Hon’le Apex Court in the Sou Moto Writ Petition (supra).

3.      Having perused the Order, dated 07.11.2022 and the grounds urged in the Review Application, I am of the considered view that the Review Application is bereft of any merit inasmuch as the Order sought to be reviewed was passed after taking into consideration all the grounds submitted in the Review Application. An order can be reviewed if there is a mistake apparent on the face of the record. I do not find any such mistake apparent on record. Consequently, the Review Application is dismissed as devoid of any merit.

4.      This Order shall be communicated by the Registry to the Review Petitioner.
