Criminal Case pending against company can i also file consumer case


28-Jun-2023 (In Consumer Court Law)
I, as an individual, hired a software company for developing a mobile application. They took 2 (out of 3) instalments and then abruptly decided to stop the project and asked me to take it elsewhere. I have filed a criminal complaint against the company. But since it is taking some time to get resolved, can I simultaneously initiate a complaint in Consumer Court. Is that possible?

Yes, there is no bar in filing a consumer complaint after you have filed a criminal complaint. In a consumer complaint you will be claiming for compensation of an amount. First you need to send a legal notice.

You have hired a software co., for developing a mobile application for yourself. So your are a consumer.
You have already filed a complaint, inspite of it you can file a consumer case against the co., before filing the consumer case, you issue legal notice asking compensation along with the amount already paid to the co.,

Here you have two option one you can approach the Civil Court for breach of contract or you can approach the consumer court for relief. As you told your have already filed a criminal case against these persons.

Here you can file consumer case. Here you can seek for damages. Here the Software company is become the service provider and you informed that hey not provided the service. So approach consumer court.
