Consumer protection act- execution applicaiton

Guest (Querist) 30 January 2016 This query is : Resolved
I have a order to pay me balance amount which was paid short in my time deposit scheme matured in 2010, against post office from the district consumer forum. This order was obtained in 2012. Scheme was over in 2010.
Post office has lost appeal in State forum and also RP in NCDRC on very first day. This was on 15th September 2015.

But despite demanding again and again they are not paying . I then filed EA before consumer forum in end of October 2015.But my Ld counsel filed u/s 27.

3 dates gone postmaster does not even appear and not paid.Now lawyer says next date in end of February kept for making charges.

My question is -what is better? section 27 invoked by my Ld lawyer, or he should have invoked section 25 to get assets and cash of post office attached u/s 25 (1) first and then 25(111) if needed. I feel the punishment route wont work with post office and case may drag for years.

Post office is a reputed and a well visible set up and it is just a matter to get money and not get some other relief implemented by them so section 25 section could do the trick in better way.

What to do now? what is best option to get money fastest possible? Should we continue with 27 or also apply supplementary application for section 25. Can it be done or will the forum on its own order attachment of assets?

Even if a person is sent to jail for 30 days and still he does not pay then again recourse is to attach assets.Is not it?

Kindly advise a smart action so I can finish this irritating issue at earliest. My payment is due since 2010.

section 25 of CPact will help you as it deals with enforcement of orders of district forum.

You should make a separate application under section 25(3) in addition to one made under section 27.
S.25(1)& (2) apply to interim orders.
