Recovery of BSNL after 6 years

shoaib (Querist) 23 March 2011 This query is : Resolved
Sir, I just have one query. Firstly the brief fact is that I was a consumer of BSNL Cellone services in the year 2004. I had an outstanding balance of Rs. 4850/-. The company issued me settlement letter in the year 2004, whereby i have deposited 2850/- and then 2000/ was due on me. Thereafter, the company had not taken any steps to recover the outstanding bill nor did it issued me any notice. Now all of a sudden after 7 years back i.e. in the year 2011 they issued notice of Lok Adalat and asked me to deposit 5500/- towards outstanding bill.
Whether the BSNL can recover their outstanding bill after the lapse of 7 years i.e. the time barred due. Please guide in the above issue and mail me the solution at shoaib_a.khan@yahoo.co.in.
Yours faithfully.

yes BSNL has right to recover the amount due to you. you are advised that just appear your self no need of lawyer at first in the said court. discribes your facts to judge when he ask you. unltimatelly he may advise to you to pay a setteled amount(2000-5500) to BSNL. if you denied then he order to you that represent ur case in written. which is possible by engage a lawyer.
