Respondent ( $s$ )

UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following $0 R D E R$

1. The order impugned has been passed by learned Single Member of the National Commission Disputes Redressal Commission. The legality and propriety of such decision making was considered by three Judge Bench in Civil Appeal No. 3743 of 2023 in The New India Assurance Co. Ltd. Vs. M/S Aczet Private Limited (EARLIER Known As M/S Citizen Scale (INDIA) Private Limited). The relevant portion of the order is as under:

"1. One of the issue of seminal importance raised on behalf of the appellant is whether the composition of two-member Bench of a Tribunal like the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (`NCDRC') must include a Judicial Member, who should also be the Presiding Member of the Bench. Since the determination of the issue is likely to have its impact on the composition of various Tribunals constituted under the different statutes, we request the learned Attorney General for India, duly assisted by one of the Additional Solicitor General, to assist the Court on the next date of hearing."

2. Let notice be issued on Special Leave Petitions as well as on the prayer(s) for interim relief.

3. Post along with C.A. No. 3743 of 2023.
