whether a partnership firm can be converted to a limited company particularly when the partnership deed is not registered.

Dispute befor consumer forum can be for deficiency of service. If for the same dispute, arbitration is provided, parties have the recourse to arbitration.
M. PIRAVI PERUMAL (Advocate & Consumer Rights) 06 February 2009
Yes the DCDRF are adjudicating the disputes even in case they have arbitration agreement. For instance disputes regarding excess telephone bills, though there is arbitration clause, the DCDRF are adjudicating quashing bills.

mr perumal is right
Manish Singh (Advocate) 09 February 2009
if there is a "dispute" between the parties then they are bound to go for arbitration first instead of knocking any court's door if there is an arbitratio clause. but look whther in your case the subject matter could be termed as dispute or not.
regarding converting of an unregistered firm into a ltd co. you are always free to do the same.

Vinod Singh Tomar (Advocate & Legal advisor) 09 February 2009
It depends upon the clauses of agreement. Civil Court or consumer forum will look upon the agreement and its clauses. If as per the agreement, disputant is coming under the consumer protection act and further in accordance with the provisions.clauses of agreement, the consumer forum will have jurisdiction primarily. Secondarily, if the nature of dispute is of civil nature, the civil court has jurisdiction to decide the dispute. But clauses of the agreements must be seen in the light of legal provisions and they should not be contrary to prevailing laws.

Well, liability under Consumer protection laws is a tortious liability, where as arbitration is all about contractual liability. They are independent of each other. Remember Donogue v. Stevension
Rajneesh Malhotra (Advocate) 23 March 2009
The Consumer court has the jurisdiction, unless its specifically barred because if you see the Act, it states that the Act is an ""additional remedy"".
Keeping in view the same, jurisdiction of the consumer forum can be invoked.
However if the dispute is being raised at both places by the same party for the same cause of action, then the court is well within its jurisdiction not to entertain the complaint.
