TIME LIMIT

J. P. Shah (Querist) 15 January 2009 This query is : Resolved
SUPPOSING A COMPLAINT IS FILED WITH THE CONSUMER FORUM AGAINST ACTION OF A BANK. AFTER A YEAR OR SO, THIS FORUM DECIDES THAT IT HAS NO JURISDICTION IN THIS CASE. THE CASE SHOULD HAVE BEEN FILED IN DRT. NOW TIME LIMIT FOR FILING CASE IN DRT HAS ALREADY EXPIRED. IS THERE ANY LAW OR JUDGEMENT BY WHICH TIME SPENT IN WRONG COURT CAN BE EXCLUDED WHILE CALCULATING TIME LIMIT FOR NEW TRIBUNAL/COURT.

Yes, Mr. Planitkar is absolutely right. U can file an application for condonation of delay with the fresh complaint in DRT by explaining the genuine reason of delay in filing the complaint with DRT. U must file the order copy of the Consumer Forum in support of ur case & to convince the the Hon'ble Tribunal.
