This query is : Resolved
Apex court has ruled Consumer Dispute Redressal Forums can not entertain complaints against BSNL. If as against this a forum admits a complaint can BSNL approach High Court on a writ asking it to interfere or had to approch applelette authority of the consumer court?
Also Apex court had observed all City Developement authorities like CMDA are service providers. Ignoring this if a district court refuses to follow the guide lines and dismisses a petition against CMDA as CMDA is not a service provider ,can an aggrieved litigant approach High court on Article 226?

Dear Thyagarajan,
Can you please quote the SC case law where the SC has put a blanket ban on the Consumer Dispute Redressal Forums not to entertain complaints against BSNL? I feel the order can be about some specific issue, not as a general ban ban on cases involving service providers. If that be there, all private service providers, like MTNL, Airtel, Reliance, Idea, etc., may also seek exemption from Consumer Dispute Redressal Forums.
