CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH and HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH RAI K
ORAL ORDER (PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH)
Learned counsel for the petitioners submits that petitioner No.8 died on 09.08.2023 and there are no legal heirs of petitioner No.8 to be brought on record. He has filed a memo dated 16.10.2025 to that effect.
2. In view of the aforesaid, the writ petition filed on behalf of petitioner No.8 stands dismissed.
3. The present writ petition has been filed impugning the order dated 03.09.2018 passed by the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Tumakuru in Execution Petition Nos.24/2012 to 29/2012. The petitioners have also challenged the order passed in Appeal Nos.1488-1493/2018 dated 25.07.2022 by the Karnataka State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Bengaluru, whereby the petitioners' appeals were dismissed.

4. So far as the order passed by the State Commission in the appeals is concerned, the writ petition is not maintainable since there is remedy of revision available under the provisions of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 as amended in 2019 and therefore, the writ petition is dismissed so far as the challenge to the order passed in the appeals by the State Commission.
5. Once the State Commission has dismissed the appeals and the petitioners have not challenged the said order in revision, we are of the considered view that the writ petition is not maintainable against the order passed in the Execution Petitions also when the order of the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum has attained finality.
6. At this stage, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that the petitioners may be given some time to deposit the entire balance amount along with interest.
7. Considering the said prayer, we grant the petitioners four weeks' time i.e., on or before 20.11.2025, to deposit the entire balance amount along with interest as per

HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:41189-DB WP No. 15618 of 2022
the order of the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Tumakuru and till then, the petitioners shall not be arrested. However, if the petitioners fail to deposit the amount as
directed above, the order passed in the Execution Petitions shall be executed.
With the aforesaid observations, the writ petition stands
disposed of.
