Repeated adjournments without reason in Consumer courts...

I have filed a case in a consumer court. The opposite party has filed a vakalat stating who is representing them. After that they are not even appearing in the court for any hearing and the judge too is just giving ajournments in one month periods. So far 5 such adjournments have been given. According to Consumer Protection Regulations, 2005 and even a Supreme Court Order in the case of Civil Appeal No. 7975 of 2001, it has been clearly stated that the opposite party can have only a maximum of 45 days to file their version. In this case they are not even appearing, let alone asking for adjournments. What can be done by me to inform that court that they have to now decide on the case or take the next step?

Can any random lawyer appear for hearing?

I have filed a complaint in a consumer court and I appear as 'party in person'. The opposite party, a bank, has appointed a lawyer. The lawyer came only the first time to file the vakalat. From the next time onwards he sends an office peon who goes about the court trying to convince one of the lawyers there to appear as the opposite party. Is this legally allowed? My understanding is that the lawyer on record if it is a firm, has to send the same lawyer. And in case the lawyer is doing the wrong thing what are the steps and measures I can take?

Experts forum

Though LCI has crossed its membership in excess of 60K I find only few experts amongst the top 100 listed in the Hall of Fame are actively involved in the forum offering expert opinion on various legal issues. Is it attributed to paucity of Tech-Savvy Lawyers in the country? OR our Learned Friends are occupied busily in the profession.

It is my humble opinion, that one cannot find a better forum than LCI to improve professional knowledge. In fact there is literally no participation by experts who are ranked beyond 100. LCI must introspect the reasons for the same and involve all expertise and exercise of professional skills of the best lawyers in the country. This would improve the spirit and high standards set by LCI. Experts please involve yourself actively in any debate or query posted
