ani_meher 42 Report post Posted November 10, 2006 By the way, how much money and time went into this? If at all the time required for such cases was small, I am sure Reliance would be paying through their nose now, to all the cases by unsatisfied and cheated customers.

ankurraheja 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2006 (edited) Mainly time is spent in intial preparation of the case that is to be filed, maybe few days to a weeks time... depending upon how long or how complicated matter is ! Then for every court date, you need to spare half day's time, which may come every 2 mnths time (approx) in a district consumer court. And you may have to appear 5-10 times in the court in 1-2 years time. The other formailities are filing rejoinder (reply) to the Opposite party's reply submitted in the court. And before the deciding of the case, court will ask you to file the complaint in the form of affidavit. These have to be prepared too... otherise in between you just have to appear and make the court aware of the complaint. And last stage is argument, which you have the option of filing it in writing! But there are exceptions also... like initially after filing of the case, opposite parties try to compromise, if they think there is enough proof against them or at the first hearing... court will try to make parties come to some kind of settlement. Money spend includes Rs 100-200 (depending upon the compensation claimed) in the form of Postal order initially and money spent in commuting to the court.

linuxguy 0 Report post Posted November 10, 2006 hey ankur, good work. do you have a guide / tutorial which details how we can go about prosecuting these erring companies in the consumer court? Most of us are not aware of the procedures, the terminologies, the time frame and the rulings in consumer courts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ankurraheja 0 Report post Posted November 13, 2006 I think when we file the case.. we have enough evidence with us... on the basis of which we make our case. And further consumer case is not that big issue that company will sue you back... I have never seen this happening atleast in Consumer Cases. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
