Kindly requesting for advice regarding maintainability of a consumer complaint for refund of ₹2,00,000 paid towards MBBS counselling security money to DGME, UP. The counselling record, application, and receipt are in the candidate’s name and roll number, but the payment was made by the father from his bank account on behalf of the candidate. In such circumstances, who has proper locus standi to file the complaint before the Consumer Commission- the candidate, the father, or both as co-complainants and what is the legally safest and practically accepted filing strategy to avoid objection on maintainability?
