My state consumer complaint was dismissed in Bengaluru, can I file a revision?

Detailed Legal Analysis

A revision petition lies before the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission or the National Commission under Karnataka Rent Control Act 1999 depending on the forum that passed the order. The Karnataka High Court has held that revision jurisdiction is limited to jurisdictional errors or gross irregularities, not reappreciation of evidence.

You must demonstrate that the lower forum failed to consider material evidence or applied the law incorrectly. The limitation period is thirty days from the date of the order under Karnataka Rent Control Act 1999.

The revisional forum may remand the matter back for fresh hearing if procedural fairness was violated. Filing in Bengaluru requires submitting the revision at the appropriate registry of the State Commission.
