IN MY OPINION YOU NEED TO FILE CASE IN A STATE COMMISION. AS PER MY KNOWLEDGE THE DISTRICT FORUM HAS A JURISDICTION UP TO 15 LAKHS.

Dear Kumar,

District forum has jursidiction upto 20 lakhs. So, you have to move State forum for relief.

Moorthyji,

Author's claim is for 25 lakhs.

M. PIRAVI PERUMAL (Advocate & Consumer Rights) 16 January 2012

The choice of the Fora/Commission will depend on the amount of transaction and relief you seek and the location where the cause of action arises. If transaction and relief is Rs. 20 Lakhs or below, case is filed in DCDRF If amount is more than Rs. 20 Lakhs but below Rs. 1 Crore, case is filed in SCDRC If amount is Rs. 1 Crore and above, case is filed at NCDRC.

As your claim is around 25 lakhs you have to file a complaint before the State Commission concerned.

Hello Bharteshji, please advise / suggest me what to do and how to proceed, Thanks

I have made up my mind to file a case against the builder in the consumer court (Bangalore) as the builder is delaying the registration of my flat. I have entered in to the agreement with builder in June 2006 for the purchase of the flat. I have paid in full and have the receipts. I was given procession of the flat in 2009. I have furnished the apartment as well. Builder has provided the following documents:

1) Sale Agreement

2) Construction agreement

3) Receipts for all my payments.

Currently the apartment is under my procession and was rented out since then.

With this background, I would like to know a case filed in consumer court will yield +ve results. Can the builder quietly sell the flat to some body else?

I have the addresses of the 2 (out of four) partners of the venture. Also I would like to know, what action the consumer court will take if the notices sent to the builder are not received and returned to the court.

Please answer my questions & advise accordingly.
