How to file & win Consumer Court Case - without a lawyer - against Proposed N A Bungalow Plot Scamster and recover money with interest!
Yes! Even IT Engineers in Hinjewadi & Kharadi can file a case - without a lawyer - in consumer court & recover their money!!
Sounds impossible. Right?
But it's true.
Sumit, Vijay & their friend were as stupid as any IT Engineer in Pune.
Without doing any due diligence they 'invested' their 40 + lakhs in N. A. Bungalow Plot Scheme called Nine Jewels Prestige at Wadki on Hadapsar Saswad Road launched by Master Home Facilities Services - MHFS - a.k.a. Sumer Pratham.
The agreement of N A Bungalow Plot was registered.
But when the developer took some 4 months to handover their registered agreement they felt that something was fishy.
Eventually, they found out that the plot was not actually N A - as mentioned in the registered agreement.
Not only that!
It was not a plot at all.
Because the developer had not done any plotting.
The collector had not sanctioned the plotting scheme.
And they had paid the price of a N A Bungalow Plot for some piece of agricultural land - which existed only on the paper - not on planet earth.
How to file a consumer court case - without a lawyer:
There are around 50 stupid people who have invested in this so called scheme.
But only these three guys - Sumit, Vijay & their Friend - realized that their agreement was nothing but a piece of shit!
Rest of stupid investors are still hoping that someday what is there on the paper will take shape on earth. Miracles happens! You know?
Let us recover our money.
Three of them decided.
Of course, the developer refused.
Now, what?
There is something which is called - Consumer Protection Act, 1986. Under it - National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) is there in India. Which is popularly known as consumer court. They found out.
There are not only stupid investors and crooked scamsters in this world - there is a consumer court too - was nothing but Sakshatkar for the three.
They told about this Sakshatkar to other victims.
But victims were afraid of the scamster.
The scamster will get angry if we go to consumer court.
The scamster will scold us. May beat us.
Who knows? The scamster will punish us by not giving our plot.
Consumer court takes long time to deliver justice.
We do not have time to waste in court proceedings.
We do not know anything about the law.
Scamsters - particularly builders & developers - are beyond the reach of law.
The natural born stupid investors raised many objections about filing a case in the consumer court.
But Sumit, Vijay & their friend went ahead.
They filed a case in the consumer court.
Without a lawyer!
In the consumer court - they defended - represented - themselves.
They became their own lawyers.
Not only that!
They won the case against the developer!!
The consumer court - Pune District Forum of National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) - gave verdict in their favor.
They are going to get what they have paid to the developer + 9% interest on that moneys - from the date case was filed till they get their money back + compensation & case expenses.
Isn't this great?
It's not only great. It's simple too!
Anyone who can read, write means type and speak can file a case without a lawyer in consumer court and win.
Yes, even IT professionals! Even if he can not read, write means type & speak Marathi!! Along with Marathi consumer court proceedings are conducted in English too. (In fact, use of Marathi in consumer courts in Maharashtra is the recent phenomenon!)
Filing a case in the consumer court is not only simple - it is not at all time consuming.
What all you need is proper documents.
Follow the right formats - submit essential documents - pay nominal fees - submit your case.
If you made some mistake in your submission - don't worry - the staff at court will guide you.
Once your case is accepted - inform the accused by speed post and wait for the date of hearing.
These three guys - had three hearings - in 6 months - and received justice.
At every hearing they got a few minutes - from 5 to 10 minutes only - to presented their case.
On every court date - they took only half day leave at work.
Which their managers sanctioned proudly.
The atmosphere at the court was not at all tense. The judges were kind.
To keep in touch with the proceedings of court case - there is the ConfoNet - Internet based Case Monitoring System Computerization & Computer Networking of Consumer Forums in Country - which Sumit, Vijay & a friend - who is abroad - used it extensively. Plus Google is there to teach you about the consumer law.
In the above Marathi video interview
- Sumit & Vijay describe in detail - how they filed & won consumer court case - and claim that -
Information is not the problem.
Court is not the problem.
Problem is our attitude.
Our attitude generates the fear about scamster in our mind.
Our attitude generates the fear about court in our mind.
First we become a victim of the scamster.
And then the victim of our unhealthy attitude.
