Discuss the process of filing an appeal by an aggrieved person under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986.

Section 15 of Consumer Protection Act, 1986 entitles a person aggrieved by an order of the District Forum to prefer an appeal to the State Commission. Similarly any person aggrieved by any original order of the State Commission may prefer an appeal to the National Commission under Section 19. Likewise, any person aggrieved by any original order of the National Commission may prefer an appeal to the Supreme Court, under Section 23. All such appeals are to be made within thirty days from the date of the order. However, the concerned Appellate authority may entertain an appeal after the said period of thirty days if it is satisfied that there was sufficient cause for not filling it within the prescribed period. The period of 30 days would be computed from the date of receipt of the order by the appellant. It may be noted that no appeal by a person, who is required to pay any amount in terms of an order of the District Forum/State Commission, shall be entertained by the State Commission/National Commission respectively unless the appellant has deposited in the prescribed manner fifty percent of that amount or twenty five thousand rupees/ thirty-five thousand respectively, whichever is less.
