6. It is contended by the learned counsel for the petitioners that the impugned order passed by the District Commission is arbitrary, contrary to well-established principles of law, so also contrary to the orders passed by the State Commission whereby the matter was remitted back to the District Commission to pass suitable orders for taking steps against the Society, represented by its Secretary, in view of the appeal preferred by the petitioner, which was also remitted to the District Forum.

7. It is the contention of learned counsel for the petitioners that despite the order passed by the State Forum remitting the matter back for re-consideration, the - 42 - WP Nos. 101018 C/W 100878, 100879, 101020, 101021, 101022, 101023, 101024, 101025, 101026, 101027, 101029, 101030, 101032, 101045 of 2025 NC: 2025:KHC-D:7430 HC-KAR District Forum has passed the impugned order, taking cognizance and recording sworn statement, and issuing summons to the JDR/accused, who are the petitioners before this Court. Hence, the petitioners are before this Court questioning the said order of the District Forum.

8. Per contra, learned counsel representing respondent No.1 vehemently contends that primarily petitions are not maintainable before this Court, as the same are hit by the provisions of Section 41 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, which provides for an appeal provision under the Act. Under the circumstances, the present petitions are not maintainable and the petitions will have to be dismissed solely on this ground, without going into the merits of the matter.

9. It is also contended by the learned counsel for respondent No.1 that the very same petitioners had preferred an appeal against the order passed by the District Consumer Forum on the earlier occasion, which came to be disposed off on 20th April 2021, which was - 43 - WP Nos. 101018 C/W 100878, 100879, 101020, 101021, 101022, 101023, 101024, 101025, 101026, 101027, 101029, 101030, 101032, 101045 of 2025 NC: 2025:KHC-D:7430 HC-KAR remitted back to the District Forum to take necessary steps against the Society represented by the Secretary and the NBW so issued against the directors – respondent Nos.2 to 14 came to be satisfied leading to disposal of the criminal case in the execution of the award in accordance with law. Therefore, it is contended by the learned counsel for respondent No.1 that when the petitioners have already approached the appellate authority against the orders passed by the District Forum, they cannot maintain the present petitions, as the same is hit by Section 41 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, where an appeal remedy is provided under the Act.

10. I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned counsel for respondent No.1.

11. Apparently there is no dispute that impugned order was passed by the District Consumer Redressal Commission, Belagavi. In all these cases, instead of approaching the appellate authority by way of Section 41 of the Act, 2019, wherein an appeal remedy is provided - 44 - WP Nos. 101018 C/W 100878, 100879, 101020, 101021, 101022, 101023, 101024, 101025, 101026, 101027, 101029, 101030, 101032, 101045 of 2025 NC: 2025:KHC-D:7430 HC-KAR before the State Forum, the petitioners have approached this Court. It is apparently seen that on an earlier occasion, the petitioners have approached the State Commission against an order passed by the District Forum. Therefore, the petitioners are aware of the appeal remedy before the State Commission under Section 41 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. Under circumstances, without going into the merits of the matter, this Court deems it appropriate to dispose off these petitions in the following manner: ORDER i. These petitions are disposed off as the same are not maintainable in view of Section 41 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, which provides an appeal remedy against an order made by the District Commission. - 45 - WP Nos. 101018 C/W 100878, 100879, 101020, 101021, 101022, 101023, 101024, 101025, 101026, 101027, 101029, 101030, 101032, 101045 of 2025 NC: 2025:KHC-D:7430 HC-KAR ii. However, liberty is reserved to the petitioners to approach the State Commission to challenge the impugned order. iii. Two weeks’ time is granted to the petitioners to approach the State Commission. Till such time, the District Consumer Redressal Commission, Belagavi shall not precipitate or take coercive steps further in the matter. iv. In case the petitioners do not approach or obtain any order, the District Consumer Redressal Commission shall proceed in the matter after two weeks from the date of receipt of copy of the order.
