Solution
No, Pankaj cannot appeal against the decision of the State Commission. In case the aggrieved party is not satisfied with the judgement of the State Commission, it can file an appeal only within 30 days of passing the judgement. However, in the given scenario, Pankaj decided to appeal after 2 months of the passing of the State Commission's judgement; hence, he cannot file the appeal.

control was carried out. It worked for a fortnight but to their dismay, the effect started wearing off. IYO contacted the pest control company which kept on postponing their visit. After waiting for a month, IYO filed a case in the consumer court.
