Hello Experts,
I am an Advocate from Hyderabad. I have a query.
I have filed a case in consumer forum against a Hotel in Hyderabad for deficiency in service and the case is in the argument stage. And the Hotel have filed their chief evidence and the person deposed the evidence has stated him as the authorized representative of the Hotel.
But the authorization letter filed by the hotel in the court has a different name, instead of the name of the person deposing the evidence.
Now the question is When a firm, company, or a body corporate is made as a party to the suit it appoints an authorized representative to follow up the cases in the court and even the companies give authorization letter to the authorized representative.
Now my query is as far i know only the authorized representative has all the right to represent in the court.
How far is it correct?
I only want some of the Citation of the Apex Court or any High Court.
Plz suggest me.
Thank You.

Dear Friend,
Person authorised by Hotel is for looking after the matter in Consumer Court. He may not be knowing the facts of the case. If the person who has filled the affidavit (Deposition) has stated that he is conversant with the subject matter, there is nothing wrong. Please verify the pleadings carefully.
