Appeal Against Compensation Quantum
In a consumer Case Trial against a mobile Company, the Forum adjudged the product as defective and the mobile company as deficient in providing services. Yet awarded a paltry compensation of Rs 1500/- not even sufficient to pay the advocates fee, leave alone getting anything for the harassment and time of the consumer. The consumer wants to appeal at the higher Forum
Query:
Should the Consumer refuse to accept the cheque of Rs 1500? Or he should accept it under protest?
What happens if the consumer accepts the cheque? Will it imply that he has accepted the verdict of the forum and will loose the right to appeal?
