Pushpa Jagannath Shetty vs Sahaj Ankur Realtors 2025 INSC 294 - S. 24A Consumer Protection Act - Limitation

Consumer Protection Act, 1986 - Section 24-A - Section 24-A of the Act prescribes the limitation period to be two years. The proviso thereto also provides for the possibility of the commission condoning delays beyond this point, but when doing so, it is to record its reasons- Limitation, while important as a feature of law, is not meant to defeat a substantive right. Efforts, in earnestness, to secure possession of the flats cannot be discounted in order to compute the applicable limitation. (Para 7-11)
