Dear Satya,

Where did you buy the goods or services, in bangalore or in delhi. If the contract has happened in Delhi then Delhi Consumer Forum or else Bangalore. Lot depends on the facts of each case.

If the goods are supplied in delhi then you should be able to file the complaint in Delhi Consumer Forum itself.

Jurisdiction for filing for consumer complaint. The place where the registered office is situated or any of the branch office of the Company or where cause of action or part of cause action arisen.

The case can be filed at both the places.

Yes you can file a case against the Company at Delhi because the Company carries its business at Delhi. To understand the jurisdiction of the Court please see Section 20 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
Section 20: Suits to be instituted where defendents reside or cause of action arises:
In your case the cause of action arose at Delhi hence you can file the at Delhi. You may also file the suit at Bangalore if convenient to you.

Sir Section 20 of CPC doesnot applicable to consumer forum. To be frank as the consumer protection Act is a self subsistant act the CPC will be applicable to those areas which were not mentioned in the Act

Yes. You can file a case against the Company at Delhi because the Company carries its business at Delhi and the cause of action arose at Delhi.
