Headnote
Consumer Protection Act, 1986: s.13 - Dismissal of complaint in limine by the National Commission - Justification - Held: Although Commission has the jurisdiction to dismiss the complaint in limine and decline its admission without notice to the opposite party, however, such in limine has to be exercised by the Commission having regard to facts of each case, i.e., in appropriate case - In the instant case, the facts do not deserve the dismissal of the appellant's complaint in limine and, therefore, the impugned order is set aside -
