Hi, since the watch was purchased in Krishnagiri, the consumer complaint also needs to be filed only in Krishnagiri. The consumer forum may not entertain the case as there is no cause of action arose in Bangalore and hence your complaint may not be entertained in Bangalore.

Q: How to file a consumer case in the court

Hi, A financial institution has cheated me by using my PAN card and issuing a loan to someone without my knowledge and consent. I got to know this when i tried applying for a loan with a bank and they rejected saying I have an overdue on my CIBIL. I called up their customer care and confirmed the details in which only my PAN details are matching. I want to lodge a fraud case with consumer court and a drfamation case for damaging my respect. Could you please help me how to get this done. Thanks a billion. 

Advocate Naman Saraswat answered
Hi, the better remedy would be that you approach the jurisdictional police and lodge a complaint against the financial institution relating to fraud and cheating. Consumer Forum may not have the appropriate jurisdiction to grant you relief. From the brief it looks like a financial fraud and hence filing a criminal complaint would address the issue which you are having. For filing of defamation case you can only approach the civil court and not the consumer forum.

Hi, the court would not entertain any divorce petition on the face of it. Upon filing of the petition the court would refer the matter to mediation where the parties would be allowed to discuss and reach an amicable settlement. You can mention the maintenance amount which you feel is required to meet you necessities at the time of mediation. Further if your husband further proceeds with the divorce matter you may file your reply and seek for maintenance. However generally maintenance is given to meet the needs of the women who does not have any source of income. However since you have a job you would have to substantiate your claim of seeking maintenance.

And how long will it take for complete process, what will be the fees. Do we need to stay separately to apply for the petition?

A separation period of 1 year is compulsory for mutual divorce. You may file the application for divorce before the family court. The application would be heard after 6 months from the date of filing and any mutual divorce may be concluded within a period of 8-9 months, provided the parties have decided on the maintenance and child custody.
