This query is : Resolved
The amount deposited under sec 15 (consumer protection Act) for filing the appeal is a statutory fee or can it be released after the disposal of appeal to the appellant.
*This query may be of academic nature, but Section 15 as per my understanding is silent for refund of amount deposited for filing of appeal.
Thanks

NOT refunded since act is silent. You need to make an application to the court if you want it back.

Respected Sh. Barman & Goyal Ji,
You have already replied to this query by stating your views which I have already mentioned in the query.
It would have been highly appreciated if it would have been resolved instead of referring it to academic query.
Thanks

The amount is refundable/payable to the party which ever gets favourable verdict in appeal.
