Yes, residents can join hands to fight a builder in consumer court. Forming a group allows them to pool resources, share evidence, and have a stronger collective voice. This can increase their chances of success and ensure a more comprehensive resolution of their grievances.

A homebuyer in Delhi took a builder to the consumer court in 2012, seeking a refund. After a long wait, the court ruled in the buyer’s favor on March 14, 2016, ordering the builder to return the money with 12% interest within 45 days. The order also stated that if the builder failed to comply, the buyer could take further action under the Consumer Protection Act. The builder, however, didn’t respond and didn’t appeal the decision by May 16, 2016. The buyer then filed an execution petition on May 16, 2016, with the next hearing scheduled for June 6, 2016. Can the builder still appeal the court’s decision to the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) despite the delay, or is the builder now obligated to follow the state court’s order?

Our Kolkata hotel installed Godrej card locks five years ago. Three months ago, Godrej Service emailed us about upgrading the locks as they’ve stopped supplying them. They also said they won’t provide any software support, even if we don’t want hardware upgrades. Can they cut off software support for their hardware without giving us enough time? Replacing all the locks would be very costly.

I purchased a second-hand phone from an individual on Quikr without buyer protection. Everything seemed fine initially, except the USB OTG feature. The seller claimed it wasn’t supported, and I believed him as he was the owner. However, I later discovered that the phone actually does support OTG. Disappointed, I requested a refund, repair, or a return, but the seller didn’t respond. Before and during the sale, the seller concealed information about past repairs on the phone, only sharing it afterwards. This lack of transparency significantly impacted my decision to buy. I later learned the repair was related to charging issues. Within months, the phone stopped charging above 4%, making it unusable, and the OTG still didn’t work – likely due to the hidden repair. Can I take legal action against the seller for cheating, misrepresentation, and fraud for selling me a defective phone?
