S.C. Jha, President

  1. This appeal has been directed against the order dated 08-01-2008 passed in Consumer Complaint No. 14/2007 by the learned District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Patna (hereinafter to be referred to as the District Forum) wherein and whereunder the complaint case filed by the complainant-appellant stood dismissed.
