OYO ROOMS AND GO IBIBO hotel booking agents

Sir

the two major hotel booking platforms namely OYO and Go ibibo sometimes cheat its customers by confirming the booking against a property whose owner refuses the booking on spot.

The incidents are increasing day by day owing to cheap tacticts on part of hotel managers who dont care for the problems faced by customers.

When we want to file a suit against such acts in consumer forum the main problem is the juridiction of courts because hotels are mostly booked by distant living travelers.

Kindly guide how a complaint can be lodged in an appropriate forum without such hassels.

to file a civil suit , it has been mentioned in the Cpc that the jurisdiction of the court depends on two criteria
pecuniary and territorial
and under territorial jurisdiction you can file a suit at the place where the offence happened or where the plaintiff lives

A complaint shall be instituted in a Consumer Forum within the local limits of whose jurisdiction the opposite party resides or carries on business or has a branch office or personally works for gain, or where the cause of action, wholly or in part, arises.

To ascertaine jurisdiction of the consumer court look into following;

Pecuniary jurisdiction-on the basis of value or services, compensation claimed,

Consumer Forum within the local limits of whose jurisdiction the opposite party resides or carries on business or has a branch office or personally works for gain, or where the cause of action, wholly or in part, arises.

14.    In so far as the issue of territorial jurisdiction is concerned, the State Commission have aptly brought out in the impugned order that part of the cause of action arose at Chandigarh, because with booking of the travel tickets on the internet, the acceptance of the contract was received by the complainant through internet at his place of business/residence.  We have no reasons to differ with the view taken by the State Commission that the State Commission at Chandigarh had the territorial jurisdiction to handle the complaint.

 

GO thru the same matter as decided by DCDRF, State Commission also..
