There could be a huge amount involved.

Any mistake in agreement could prove to be fatal if there is a large amount of money at stake.

When company fails to redress your grievance

If you are not satisfied with their response then you can seek a legal opinion.

A lawyer can guide you what can be done legally in that situation.

When limitation is an issue

Generally a consumer complaint can be filed within two years from the day the cause of action arose.

Under Consumer Protection Act 2019 even if the complaint is not filed within two years it can be admitted if sufficient cause is proved and reasons are recorded by the Commission.

Always keep limitation in mind while filing your complaint. Consult a lawyer if there is any issue related to limitation.

When you receive any notice

It could be a legal notice or reply from the other side. Or it could be any communication from consumer commission.

It depends upon what that notice says.

How Does a Consumer Dispute Generally Progress?

Depends upon what your complaint is and which commission you are trying to go to.

Having some knowledge of how the process works will allow you to meet your lawyer and be prepared. This does not mean each case will follow the same steps.

First meeting with Lawyer

The lawyer will look at your transaction, what your complaint is and the documents you have.

Some things your lawyer may look at is whether you qualify as a consumer, limitation, cause of action, what the court can do etc.

Filing your Complaint

If your complaint is deemed maintainable then the necessary documents and facts can be collated to file before the concerned commission.

The complaint must have the details of the parties and your complaint and what you are seeking for relief.

You should be aware of the rules of filing and the fees payable to the commission.

Response from opposite party

The opposite party may be called upon to respond to your complaint.

The response could deny your facts or object to the commission having jurisdiction over the matter. Or they may interpret the contract differently to you.

Once the commission has looked through the pleadings they will follow the procedure they are supposed to.

Arguments before the Commission

There may be written arguments filed before the commission. Documents and any other material can be brought before them.

It will depend on the situation at hand.

You may need more than just a simple argument if you are dealing with technical issues.

Commission will pass an Order

An order can be passed after the facts are analysed.

The court may order you to get your money back, remove defects, give you something in replacement or compensate you. It all depends on what your case is about.

There is no magic formula when it comes to law.

What Should Consumers Know About NCDRC Appeals?

While many consumers believe that the NCDRC only entertains original complaints, that’s not true.

The National Commission also exercises appellate and revisional jurisdiction under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.

Appeals

An appeal is a statutory right that allows a person who is entitled to appeal from the terms of an order in accordance with the provisions of the applicable statute.

Appeal against an order of State Commission

Section 51 deals with appeals to the National Commission from certain orders of the State Commissions.

Time limitation for filing the appeal is generally 30 days from the date of order, subject to the provisions dealing with condonation of delay.

A lawyer can tell you if the order is appealable and whether the requirements have been satisfied.

Appeal against an order of NCDRC

Section 67 deals with appeals to the Supreme Court from certain orders passed by the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) in its original jurisdiction.

Time limitation for filing the appeal is generally 30 days from the date of order, subject to the provision requiring sufficient cause for delay.

The section also imposes a deposit requirement in certain circumstances.

As you can see, not all orders passed by the NCDRC will be appealed in the same manner.

Orders have to be analyzed based on their nature and the nature of the jurisdiction which was exercised by the Commission.

Revisions

The National Commission can entertain revisions against orders passed by the State Commission in certain circumstances.

Revision is not a second appeal.

The statute deals with errors of jurisdiction and certain types of illegality or material irregularity.

A lawyer can tell you if your facts call for a revision petition or if some other remedy is available.
