You can file a complaint with the Consumer Forum under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, as this constitutes a breach of contract and unfair trade practice. You can also file a police complaint for cheating if the consultancy refuses to cooperate.

This incident led to a complex surgery, and I’m still recovering, with light walking only starting 8 weeks later. The pain has been unbearable. I want to hold the hotel responsible for this accident and seek compensation. What steps should I take?

We won a case at the state consumer forum regarding a housing issue. The other party has 30 days to comply with the order. We’re worried they might appeal to the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC). What can we do proactively? Is filing a caveat a good idea? Also, if they appeal, can we ask for more compensation? Or will the NCDRC only reduce or nullify the penalty, or even impose a higher penalty on the other party?

I booked a flat for ₹35 lakhs, paying ₹1 lakh as a booking amount. I later transferred ₹7 lakhs to cover 20% of the flat cost. The sale agreement was signed. However, I now need to cancel the flat due to personal reasons. The sale agreement has a clause stating a 10% deduction of the advance amount upon cancellation, which is mentioned on a stamp paper. However, the builder claims that 10% of the flat cost will be deducted based on the terms and conditions of the booking form I filled. Which clause is legally binding in this situation?

I’ve got two Airtel DTH connections with one dish and two set-top boxes. I deactivated the second connection three months ago, but the payments for my main connection are still being applied to the inactive one. Even after speaking to Airtel customer service and returning the second set-top box, I’m still being charged for both accounts. Can I take legal action against Airtel DTH?
