Hi all,..
I have filed a consumer case against a mobile company with three opposite parties. From the past 1 year, I have already attended 6 hearings where after first two hearing, only one party have come and started filing replies... in second last hearing from now, the Forum member has told me that ex-parte is already done agaisnt other two parties and next date is fixed after 5 months for final argument....
My concern is that from the last one year, no main opposite parties are coming at all even for once and ex-parte orders is also passed (as i inspected the records of my proceedings.) But still the opposite parties r getting time like anything. I mean already 1 yr. has gone and another 5 moths r also going to get killed, and the other parties, totally unfazed, with impunity avoiding every date of the hearing...
I mean it is always the complainant who has to bear the brunt. The main culprits always manages to abscond. One, they haven't attended even single proceedings, and secondly, they r getting time like anything. To the boot, the executive of the compnay calls me and asks .."what is the next date of hearing.."...... I mean... I flabbergasted to answer the same and felt cheated that they don't even have that much pain to see by themselves on what date they r to appear in the court for my case.
Forum didn't passed even an interim order to wake the other parities out of their sleep. I Mean.... its really feel bad to see that where the ACt confers the powers on the forum to pass orders with maximum 5 months...Even the argument phase hasn't come yet. It is a simple case where the other party is repeatedly avoiding to face the court....And I think my clamour for justice is not going to end in near future.....
To add to this, govt. is freely encouraging to go to consumer court when, as per my experience, a simple case of my nature where the O.P. hasn't attended a single hearing... is running into 1.5 yrs. without its final culmination date.....
Please guide me on this....!!!!!!! :(
Pls tell, if the final argument date is fixed after 5 months from now, how much more time will it take to forum to pass final orders. Pls also tell whether after passing ex-parte orders, can the opposite party barge in to put their version b4 the court. will it be allowed by forum?
