We are a central PSU. we had filed a consumer case in consumer forum against a PSU insurance company after taking clearance from the Committee of Dispute as per the OM No. 53/1/10/94-Cab dated 24.1.1994. We lost the case in all the three fora i.e, District, State and also in National Forum. Now we want to file Appeal?SLP in the Apex Court. Should we required to again apply for clearance from the COD. The OM referred above is silent . Kindly advise alongwit citing the OM or case law, if any.

The clearance from the Committee of Dispute is for pursuing the remedy outside the departmental forum.
As such, once the clearance has been given, one need not again and again seek any further clearance.
