You can. Success of case depends on merit of case which you have not disclosed

Simply said:Consumer is  a person who purchases goods and services for personal use

Go thru:

THE CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT, 1986

2(b,c,r)

Preferably discuss with a very able counsel specializing in consumer matters, with case file

Housing activity will come under the definition of Service withing the meaning of C.P.Act. Since your transaction pertains to housing you will definitely be a Consumer under C.P.Act

The list is being expanded. Basic answers for all such matters is reading the act. Please remember that the term Consumer Court is incorrect. It leads people to think it is their court. As if they own it and will give them what they want. It is a REDRESSAL forum. Both sides will be heard and a judicial decision will be reached on merit.

The name consumer court is right. It is a court for consumers. One can go to the court only as a consumer. A service provider or a manufacturer cannot go to the court except on appeal.

Go thru the rules framed by your state.

One can also try filing a Writ Petition. It is against a statutory authority.It could be faster.

Dr. MPS RAMANI Ph.D.[Tech.] (Scientist/Engineer)     23 May 2017

What kind of writ?

BAPOO M. MALCOLM (Advocate and Empanelled Arbitrator Bombay High Court I 7809 OS 14436)     23 May 2017

The good doctor argues with me on every point. So be it.

There are 5 types of Prerogative Writs. a) Habeas Corpus, b) Prohibition c) Mandamus d) Certorari e) Quo Warranto, available to Indins under our Constitution. Now, let your lawyer select te best for the case. My choice is .......................

a) Produce the body

b) Prevent the action

c) Pass orders

d) Hand over the records and proceedings

e) Show proof of holding office.

Select, Good Doctor. The exercise will be worth it.

Dr. MPS RAMANI Ph.D.[Tech.] (Scientist/Engineer)     23 May 2017

Which one of the above 5 please?  According to me none of them apply.
