Now that person filed a complaint before the consumer forum for damages and refund his money with interest.

well this is not a consumer related service. it is a commercial transaction, the person needs to file civil suit for recovery and/or criminal case for cheating u/sec. 420 of CRPC.

 

Consumer Forum has no jurisdiction to try and entertain the dispute. Who gave your friend the suggestion to file a complaint with the consumer forum?????
