 File a case straightaway attaching xerox copies of all the documents. Waiting for one year? Surprising?

Send a hard copy of the notice. Your presence is not a must. Consult a local lawyer.

Dear Mr Rajendra

This is clear that my presence is not there in coonsumer court like the RTI  case,but  you suggest me to consult a local lawyer.

whether it is need for presence  of some representative( lawyer)  form my side or for  documentation?

Documentation I can do.

whether hiring lawyer is neccassary for my case?

Anil Agrawal (Retired)     08 November 2009

 Presence of a lawyer is not necessary. Prepare your brief. Keep all the documents in original with xerox copy ready. Yes, when the case come up for hearing, be present.

you mean that I will have to  be physically there during hearing. the problem with me is that I am based in Ranchi and hearing will be in delhi.

here once more I ask,  whether my presence is mandatory or it is just you suggested  ?

Thanks

 Where the cause of action arose? Ranchi or Delhi. You are at Ranchi, you ordered books from Ranchi, you sent the money from Ranchi. Then how case was filed in Delhi?

K. Rajendra Prakash (Advocate)     09 November 2009

Dear Mr. Rajiv Kumar,

Engagement of a counsel is not necessry when you can do on your own.  Lawyer represents your case.  If you do not engage a counsel,  you have to be present when the case come up for hearing.  When the cause of action did not arise at Delhi, how the case was filed in Delhi.  You may challenge on the point of jurisdiction--------of the Forum at Delhi.

Rajeev Kumar (Professioanl Social worker)     09 November 2009

Dear Sir

I forgot to tell that I am based in Ranchi but ordered books from publishing company of Delhi. so jurisdiction lies in Delhi itself.

You wanted to make me understand that if  I dont hire lawyer for my representation. Then I will have to be physically present during hearing. is not it???

 

Thanks for your kind suggestion

regards

K. Rajendra Prakash (Advocate)     09 November 2009

Yes, If you do not want to engage (not hire) an Advocate for your representation, how can you argue without being present there physically?

Rajeev Kumar (Professioanl Social worker)     10 November 2009
