One individual A has obtained conversion of his piece of plot into non-agricultural use by paying the stipulated fee prescribed under the statute from the competent authority and subsequently sold the piece of plot to another B and executed sale deed. B found that the orders issued by the competent authority for conversion from agricultural to non-agricultural use, the name of the village wherein the land is situated was wrongly mentioned. The purchaser B has been making requests to the competent authority to correct the name of the village in the conversion orders, but not done so far. Now the purchaser B proposes to approach the Consumer Commission with a complaint that the competent authority who has neglected to correct the mistake in the conversion orders has committed deficiency of service having collected the fee while issuing the conversion orders. Can the purchaser B approach the Consumer Commission? or the seller alone is entitled to approach the Commission under the CP Act, 2019. I feel the purchaser B can approach the Consumer Commission. I seek for comments from the learned brothers.
