Order:

Challenge in this set of four Revision Petitions, under Section 21(b) of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 (for short "the Act"), is to the orders, all dated 20.01.2017, passed by the Haryana State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission at Panchkula (for short "the State Commission") in First Appeals No. 235, 236, 237 and 238 of 2016, by one M/s Classic Agricone, an expert in installation of poly-house/net-house, Opposite Party No.1 in the Complaints under the Act.

Learned Counsel has also submitted that insofar as the question of delay in construction of the poly-houses is concerned, the committed period for completion of construction was 100 days, which has been wrongly taken as 45 days by the Fora below. It is also argued that since the poly-houses were got constructed by the Complainants for commercial purposes, they could not be treated as ''consumers'' within the meaning of Section 2(1)(d) of the Act.
