IN THE HIGH COURT OF JHARKHAND AT RANCHI W.P.(C) No.3676 of 2024 ----- Julius Kachhap, aged about 80 years, son of Late Victor Kachhap, resident of BG-6/4A, Sharon Apartment, DIOCESAN Village, Sirom Toli Chowk, Old Hazaribagh Road, P.O.-G.P.O.- Ranchi, P.S. Chutia, District-Ranchi ........... Petitioner. -Versus- Dr. Rajendra Prasad Centre for Ophthalmic Sciences, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), P.O. & P.S. Ansari Nagar, New Delhi-110029 through the Director, AIIMS .......... Respondent. ----- CORAM : HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH SHANKAR ----- For the Petitioner : Mr. Ajit Kumar, Advocate ----- Order No.05 Date: 26.03.2025 1. The present writ petition has been filed for quashing the order dated 22nd December, 2023 (Annexure-2) passed by the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Ranchi in Complaint Case No.231 of 2012, whereby the petitioner’s application seeking amendment in the prayer portion of the said complaint petition has been rejected. 2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the present writ petition has been filed primarily due to the reason that at present the Jharkhand State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Ranchi is non-functional due to lack of quorum. 3. Considering that the petitioner by way of present writ petition has challenged the order dated 22nd December, 2023, whereby his prayer for amendment in the complaint petition was rejected by the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Ranchi and the said complaint case is still pending, I am not inclined to entertain the present writ petition at this stage irrespective of the fact that Consumer Appeal No.02 of 2024 filed by the petitioner is not being taken up by the Jharkhand State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Ranchi due to its being non-functional at present. 4. The petitioner may, however, pursue the Consumer Appeal No.02 of 2024 said to have been filed before the Jharkhand State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Ranchi as soon as the same gets functional. 5. The writ petition is, accordingly, dismissed with aforesaid liberty. (Rajesh Shankar, J.) Rohit/ -2- W.P.(C) No.3676 of 2024
