Judgment text as reported

MUHAMMAD ASHRAF VS Sh. MUHAMMAD AKRAM Ss. 28(1) & 28(4)---Settlement of claims---Cause of action---Limitation---Scope---Argument that as no limitation is provided for issuance of written notice under subsection (1) of S. 28 of the Act, the same could be issued at any time and limitation of thirty days provided under subsection (4) of S. 28 starts running only after issuance of the written notice since the cause of action is recurring in such like cases had no force---Such an argument is misconceived and if accepted, would defeat the purpose of time-limitation provided by the legislature under subsection (4)---While the remedy to the consumers for their protection has been provided under the Act, the legislature could not have left it open-ended at the will of the claimant to serve written notice whenever he feels convenient---Rather, the written notice is to be served immediately on the accrual of cause of action.
