Deficiency of service file consumer complaint, read law.
It would be appropriate to engage a local lawyer for further guidance, advise and proceeding.

Deficiency in service is defined in S.2(g) and a complaint under S.12 of Consumer Protection Act 1986 lies before a Dist Forum(up to 20 lac rupees), Consumer Commission(from 20 lac to one crore rupees) or National Commission (exceeding one crore rupees), within 2 years from accrual of cause of action (S.24-A).
Go ahead.

With due respect to expert K.S.Srinivas the best course is to file complaint under CPA as it is summary in nature and has to be decided within 150 days or so without any fee/stamp duty to be paid by complainant.
