The Supreme Court held that the word 'interim order' in Section 25(1) of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, shall now be read as 'any order' from March 15, 2003 to July 20, 2020 with reference to all pending proceedings at any stage for execution of any order passed under the Act. It was hearing appeals against the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commissions' (NCDRC) order.
