In Brief
The Karnataka Housing Board appealed against an order of the High Court that set aside the National Commission's decision entertaining a Revision Petition in an execution proceeding under the Consumer Protection Act. The Supreme Court held that execution proceedings are separate, independent proceedings distinct from the original suit, and that a Revision Petition under Section 21(b) of the Consumer Protection Act is not maintainable before the National Commission against orders passed by the State Commission in execution matters. The Court affirmed the High Court's decision, finding the National Commission had committed a jurisdictional error.
