In Brief
Karnataka Housing Board sought to challenge an order by the State Consumer Commission in execution proceedings through a Revision Petition before the National Commission. The Supreme Court held that a Revision Petition under Section 21(b) of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 is maintainable only against orders in pending or disposed consumer disputes, not in execution proceedings. Execution proceedings are independent processes initiated to enforce decrees and cannot be treated as a continuation of the original consumer dispute. Once a consumer dispute is finally decided, subsequent execution orders fall outside the National Commission's revisional jurisdiction. The Court affirmed the Delhi High Court's judgment setting aside the National Commission's order allowing the Revision Petition."]
