Working of state commission

Filing Written Arguments or addressing Oral Arguments is not mandatory.      Many advocates address Oral Arguments but hesitate to file Written Arguments which don't allow to deny their averments.

I give preference to Written Arguments which may bind the Commissioners.

Better furnish the opposite party with hard copy, get his signature on Commission's copy and file this.

Dear Sir,

My heartfelt thanks to you for your reply !

However, I do not understand the last part of last sentence i.e "get his signature on Commission's copy and file this."

Do you mean that I should get doctor's signature on the copy to be submitted to State Commission ?

Kindly enlighten.

Yours faithfully,

Rajesh.

Yes, Dentist's.     The Commission will then not direct you to furnish a copy of the arguments to the Opposite Party.

Yes.      You are to furnish a copy to the Opposite Party.

Three copies are necessary.      One for the Opposite Party, one for the Commission and one for your record.      Signature of the Opposite Party on the copy of the Commission is necessary.       After getting the signature of the Opposite Party, the Petition is filed.      The Commission will see the signature of the Opposite Party on its copy, satisfies itself that the Opposite Party is duly informed and fixes date of adjournment.

If the signature of the Opposite Party is not obtained by you?      Catastrophe?      No.    Not at all.       The Commission will instruct you to furniish a copy and will tell the Opposite Party to file a Memo acknowledging its receipt.      Your time will be wasted unnecessarily.

Yes, yes.    You're right.    In this case, not petition, but Written Arguments.    In general, the procedure is applicable to petitions, memos, interrogatories and what not.

Dear Sir,

Thankyou very much for your reply !

You are doing great humanitarian service to common-folks of India. It is because of samaritans like you that common folks still have faith in humanity and hope from judicial system of country.

I hope in future too, I  shall  have benefit of your guidance.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,

Rajesh Patil

Dear TGK Reddi garu,

I have a similar situation. My query is when opp party files an appeal before State Commission against the order of district commission and is in admission stage with a call for records...

1 what is complainant expected to file immediately ? [ Written Statement or Counter ? ]

2 what are the stages through which appeal goes?

3 Does the complainant file evidence again, evidence affidavit filed earlier before District Forum has not been included in appeal ?

4 Records have been called for. Does that include evidence and earlier arguments ? or complainant needs to furnish them once again?
Appreciate your valuable expert comments , as I am a party in person.

Regards,

Raghu
