Dear Experts,

We have got a notice from a layer.to come a sattale with his cline who is claiming not to paid actual amount of his contract.

I am giving all the details below.
We have done decoration from a decorater in Feb'2013. all are verbal communication and nothing is written on paper and no any agreement has been prepared by both side.

He did not done his work as he has promise to us for this we have a argument with him. we have paid all of his amount but he is sending us legal notice from layer we have not paid all amount and his RS. 25000 amount is left with us.

Please guide how to come out from this condition.

There were no any signed paper by either side.

Thanks in advance

Bhola Kumar

REPLY nOTICE , DENY HIS CLAIM, AND FURTHER DEMAND DAMAGES FOR DEFECTIVE WORK, AND NON ISSUE OF RECEIPT OF MONEY U ALREADY PAID.

Remember that being decorator, can prove with Photograph that he worked as decorator, with staff, location photo of event. So do not deny contract.

you have a greivance of deficiency in service you can go to consumer court. He cannot go.

He has gone to right court.

Reply the notice through your lawyer. Send him notice for deficiency of service and file case in Consumer Forum.
