HI
I had filed a case against a builder in the state consumer forum in 2010 for recovery of amount paid along with compensation for non delivery of the flat which was promised to be handed over in 2008.
At the time of filing the case, we were told by our lawyer that this is a simple case of non compliance with the sale agreement.After many sittings and hearing the case first reached the verdict stage in 2011. Then the state forum judge stated that since the builder had changed his name a fresh vakalat will have to be put in the new name of the same builder and filed for argument again.This was done and the case again went through the filing of the new vakalat and arguments and hearings followed again and the case reached the judgement stage again during March of 2012.
However, every time the verdict day comes, the consumer forum has been delaying the order or verdict.The judgement of this case had till September been reserved 4 times. In September of this year, the judge stated that the case will have to again go for argument the second time round since the other members in the bench(apart from him) had retired and he will not put an order on his own without consulting the other members, who now I presume will have to be appointed.This judge himself is due for retirement in November.
Can anyone suggest what is the legal course available for me in this case? How can I get the state consumer court to issue the verdict without any further delay?
Regards
