As many as 58 cases have been transferred to the newly established additional commission so far.
An official source said all pending cases from 2023 and 2024, which are ready for arguments at the principal district commission, were allocated to the additional commission for disposal.
The additional commission began functioning on June 16. It is functioning from Room No 7 on the first floor of the old building on the collectorate campus.
It will function three days a week—from Monday to Wednesday.
However, sources noted that the additional commission lacks adequate space and is currently operating from a single room, making it difficult for the staff to maintain records or even find space to sit.
Every year, around 500 new cases are filed at the principal district commission. At present, approximately 350 cases are pending before it.
'District commissions shall have jurisdiction to entertain complaints where the value of goods or services paid as consideration does not exceed Rs 50 lakh. The Consumer Protection Act, 2019, stipulates that every complaint shall be disposed of as expeditiously as possible, and an endeavour shall be made to decide the complaint within three months from the date of receipt of notice by the opposite party,' the source added.
