Q: Can i legally proceed against BSNL for deficient services

I am resident of Delhi and native of Uttrakhand. We had a BSNL landline at Uttrakhand for my ailing aged parents which during last few years remained out of order most of the times. Sometimes complaints were registered by me online or through helpline numbers. Recently I forwarded closure request and after several follow-ups finally that connection was disconnected. I demanded rebate for the downtime as per TRAI rules which they kept refusing till my RTI requests to BSNL HQ. Now I want to know – 1. Whether I can initiate legal proceeding in consumer court in Delhi as BSNL HQ and me both are in Delhi though connection was in my father’s name and installed in Uttrakhand. Its me who was doing all the followups. 2. Can I demand compensation in court for deficient services provided to us during last 2 years. 3. Can I demand compensation for mental hurt and agony caused by several refusals made by them for grant of rebate for last occasion of downtine and not granted for previous downtimes.

Hello dear, first of all no need to be worried actually we are living in a society where if a women is stand on her own feet, the society try to push her down. In a ruling that will ensure equality between men and women, the Supreme Court made it clear that women born before 2005 have equal right on ancestral property. The apex court stated that the Hindu Succession Act 2005 which gives equal rights to daughters on ancestral property, will be applied to all women including those born before the year.A bench of Justices AK Sikri and Ashok Bhushan said that the share in ancestral property could not be denied, to a woman, on the ground that she was born before the law was passed, and the law was applicable in all property disputes filed before 2005 and pending when the law was framed. The bench added that the amended law stipulated that a daughter would be a “coparcener” (one who shares equally in inheritance of an undivided property) since birth, and have the same rights and liabilities as a son.Further if you need any other suggestion you me contact me.

A citizen who desires to seek some information from a public authority is required to send, along with the application (a Postal order or DD (Demand draft) or a bankers cheque) payable to the Accounts Officer of the public authority as fee prescribed for seeking information. If the person is from a disadvantaged community, he/she need not pay. The applicant may also be required to pay further fee towards the cost of providing the information, details of which shall be intimated to the applicant by the Public Information Officer as prescribed by the RTI ACT.The person who has filed the RTI only that person will get the result of the inquiries as the RTI application was made by him on his name.
