Order:
1. By these Revision Petitions, Vishakhapatnam Urban Development Authority (for short "the Development Authority"), the sole Opposite Party in the Complaints, calls in question the legality and correctness of the two orders, both dated 04.08.2016, passed by the Andhra Pradesh State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission at Hyderabad (for short "the State Commission") in FAIA No. 151/2016 in/and FASR No. 436/2016 and FAIA No. 146/2016 in/and FASR No. 439/2016. By the impugned orders, the State Commission has dismissed the Appeals, preferred by the Development Authority, as barred by limitation, as there was a delay of 167 days in filing the same, for which, according to the State Commission, no sufficient cause was shown.
