Consumer court case
CHANDRAN
(Querist) 20 February 2018
This query is : Resolved
I filed a C.C.150/2015 in district forum against builder and appeared personally after two years as the case was not disposed of even after two years. Then the forum was kind enough to hear and dispose of quickly. The order was passed in may 2017 in favour of me with cost.
But the builder filed appeal in state commission . Again i APPEARED and requested for quick disposal showing the reasons as given below.
Before the Hon’ble Kerala State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Trivandrum
FA/----/2017
Dr: C.R.Ramdas ---------------------------------------------------------Appellant
M.D, Cheloor Property Development Projects ltd, Thrissur.
(Through advocates A.Abdual Kharim and Narayan.R)
N.R.Chandran-----------------------------------------------------------Respondent
Flat No.15, 4th floor, Cheloor Krishna Karuna, West Nada, Guruvayur-680101.
It is most respectfully prayed that this Hone’ble commission may kindly expedite the above appeal hearing and disposal, to an earliest date due to the following reasons.
1. I have to go to Toronto , Canada at the earliest for a long period. The Hone’ble district forum, Thrissur expedited the disposal of this complaint considering my above request. The appellant is also aware about this and the grounds given in the appeal is baseless and causing further loss to me.
2. I had purchased air tickets for 2nd August and again for 6th October 2017, which had to be cancelled and suffered loss. The copies are attached herewith.
3. The LCR is already received by the Commission.
4. I have to settle the dues to Apartment Owners Association based on the order of CDRF, Thrissur , which is stayed now.
5. I also did not request for separate interest for refund amount in the C.C.150/2015 thinking that the consumer complaints would be settled quickly. This is also causing further loss for me.
6. I am Senior Citizen
Trivandrum,
N.R.Chandran
But the state commision did not accept my request and adjouned the case to May 2018.Is there any way to overcome this situation. Still govt advertises in TV saying that consumer case would be settled in 3 months. Is there any priority for senior citizen appearing personally.
Kindly give valuable suggestions
Thanks and regards,
Chandran

The consumer forums too have their 'limitations'.

Apply for early hearing of the case on merit.

Thanks to Dr.J C Vashista. Could you please elaborate on "applying for hearing of the case on merit" with some hints on my case. I also happened to see a statement in consumer protection act "The case filed by or against the senior citizen , physically challenged , widows ---------- shall be listed and disposed of on a priority basis". I am senior citizen and appearing in person . So can I request to allow this priority in my case.

The Court would grant such indulgence on written request. Explain all the details in the Request Petition and seek the concerned Court to complete the hearings on Priority. Supreme Court had already given directions that cases of Senior Citizen should be completed on Priority basing on the request please.

The Directions given to all the Courts to consider and complete the Cases of Senior Citizens on Priority would be applicable to Consumer Courts/ Forums also.
