Legal Question in Consumer Law in India

27.03.2014

Dear Sir / Madam,

It is a clear cut case of "One problem leading to another". The Company that sold the data card to you is required to provide you an entire usage log sheet justifying that the bytes were actually used from your Internet Protocol (IP) address. You also need to inform the data card selling Company that cable internet charges for unlimited usage are just Rs. 250/- per month i.e Rs. 3,000/- per year. And ask them how come they are claiming Rs. 2,700/- for just one day. It is clear they are cheating you and you should file a cheating case in the local Police station against the Company. Put all that I'm telling you in writing to the Company before you actually receive a legal notice to pay up.

Regards,

First, case under section 420 I.P.C can not be filed before High court. The private complaint has to be filed before the concerned magistrate. In fact, you have not committed any act which will amount to an offence under section 420 I.P.C(Cheating) Your data card has not at all been activated for want of address proof. So, there is no chance for any more charge of Rs.1200 for usage. Say them that if they rush to take any ill conceived action as they threatened over phone, you will resit the same under law at their cost. However, you can not move against them for deficiency in service unless you provide the required address proof. Their act also will not amount to cheating.But you are not liable to pay Rs.1200 or any amount as they demand.............. Nellai V Kannan Advocate 9443154058 [email protected]
