Lost a case in district consumer forum

if in petition they write  for compensation more than rs.10000 then appeal can be that he not  compensate  in district forum

if in petition rs.15000/- then national forum appeal shall be for Rs.5000/-

yes it is correct practice . any party aggrived by impugned order can  file appeal . instead of paying Rs 10,000 even you could have filed appeal . the court can in case of appeal by Opposite party increase the compensation amoutn .

What if my collegue had himself approached stateforum on one of the following grounds:

a)He feels that genuinely he was wrongly implicated

or

b) He feels that the compensation amount is too high for the given case.

The facts in this case: My friend was the service provider and the ingredients used in the service (made by a multinational company was found defective).

My friend agreed to pay out the compensation, so as to avoid further legal entanglements. He wrongly assumed that by paying out a sum, he would free himself out.. for ever..... looks like he as a long way to go....
