Consumer court case

6 years ago

This is national consumer court case.
Commercial property was purchased in the name of wife who is depended on husband with the funds provided by the husband who is a doctor. The property was purchased with intention to set up clinic by the husband to earn livlihood after his retirement. Builder defaulted in handing over the possession in time. Wife approched state consumer commission against the builder. State consumer commission gave verdict in favor of wife since plot was purchased to setup clinic by her husband to earn their livlihood.
Than builder approched the national commission against the order of state commission. National commission give verdict in favor of the builder on the basis that property is in the name of wife and clinic is to be setup by her husband to earn their livlihood. Since wife is not earning her livlihood from the property she does not come under the purview of "consumer" under consumer act.
Pls advice if this us a good case to approach the supreme court against this order.
