Dear Aashish,
Consumer Forums can decide telecom cases…………….
It is felt that the judgment ‘Judgment of Telecom Manager vs M.Krishnan’ is being misinterpreted.
Even after this judgment telecom cases have been decided by consumer forums, amongst which Vodafone is by national Commission.
The experts and members are requested to go thru various threads available at LCI:
e.g;

Discussion > Civil Law > Consumer Protection > Can we file a case in Consumer froum against mobile company
The following judgments and publications should be helpful.
