Unlike the NCDRC, which operates year-round, certain State and District Commissions observe vacations ranging from 13 to 47 days, including summer, winter, and Dussehra breaks.
The court's notice comes in response to a petition filed by the All India Bar Association of National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission seeking to revert to the pre-Covid calendars for the NCDRC, aligning them with the schedules of the Supreme Court and other tribunals and commissions.
In the meantime, the petition requests that no further cases be listed during the month of June and the last week of December, except for urgent matters, that too with the request of advocates or parties. The request is scheduled for the next hearing on May 20.
