In Brief
Ambience Infrastructure appealed against an NCDRC order passed in execution proceedings concerning maintenance charges for apartment residents. The issue was whether appeals to the Supreme Court under Section 23 of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 extend to execution proceedings or only original proceedings. The Court held that Section 23 appeals are limited to orders passed in original proceedings under Section 21(a)(i), and execution proceedings are separate and independent. Accordingly, the appeals were dismissed as not maintainable, without addressing the merits of the dispute regarding the maintenance charges calculation.
