The society president approached State commission and took Stay on the ground that presently there is no board so he can't comply with the order...
The order was passed in June 2018..Giving him 6 month time to comply.Further Execution petition filed Dec 2018..2019 august NBW issued.he got it cancel..Again on Feb 2020 NBW issued and execution court refused to grant more time..The respondent wasted 16 month and now got stay on the excuse Feb 20 society election.The society board was in effective till then.
My question.

Limitstion over to file review.

Challenge the order of SC before NC.

Stay was not correct, you should have challenged it on the first time when stay granted. Challege it before NC.

SC can stay order in appeal.

But respondent already had lot time. Stay should have vacated.

1. It's not clear why the Appeal in which the stay order was passed is not disposed of as yet. So either expedite hearing of Appeal or file IA seeking vacation of stay order. 

2. Do as advised above. 

3. Same as above. 

4. Yes in Appeal or Revision filed challenging the order or judgement of consumer forum.

1. As per law, the State commission has no power to review its order , except the National Commission having the said power.

- Specially after a gap of two year , review is not applicable.

2. You should challenge the said order passed by the state commission against you for the refusal of deficiency of service before the National commission .

- There is sufficient ground for deficiency of service.

3. Approach NCRDC ,as you have fit ground to vacate the stay order 

4.Yes, if the ground for stay is sufficient , however you should approach the National Commission .

You can apply to forum seeking a direction to authorize any member of society to act on behalf of the society to comply with the court order. 

If forum do not accept such request you can approach NCDRC or can approach High court .

High can invoke it's special power under sec 482 cpc and issue all necessary direction to do the justice.

1. It can. State commission is not effective. Chance should not be given to such Defaulters

2. No you to approach National commission. State can't give you anything after order is passed

3. You can approach state commission also and If they don't then national. 

4. State commission can but need to record the reasons. You can try to challenge the said order in writ before HC as it's erroneous to delay to such a extent in consumer forum frustrating the objects of the Act

No, the State Commission cannot review its own order, but can extend stay if it is pending.

You can challenge the order of State Commission by filing appeal against the said stay in NCRDC.

You can seek relief of  your claim.

Dear Sir,

The state consumer commission can't review it's own order after 2 years. You are suggested to file separate petition for compensation for deficiency in service claim of 4 lakhs. Also for vacate the stay, you approach State commission first. The State commission does not have jurisdiction to grant stay after 16 months of proceedings.

1. No, the same court cannot review its own orders.

2. The state commission has not given you the relief of compensation sought in the prayer, then, aggrieved over the rejection of the prayer/relief, yo may very well aproach the national commission against this aggrieved judgment.

3. You can file a petition before the same court which has granted stay to vacate the same for the reasons you may rely upon by filing your counter  to that stay petition.

4. Yes they can.

Better is to file reply in state commission 

 

2) even if you file appeal in NCRDC it would take time to appear on board 

 

3) for claiming RS 4 lakhs you have to file appeal against state commission order rejecting your claim of Rs 4 lakhs 

 

4) your appeal would be barred by limitation 

 

5) objections can be sent by speed post or regd post 

6) you have to apply to court to avail video conferencing

1. If the stay order has been passed by the state commission, you may have to approach the state commission only for filing an application to vacate the stay.

2. Since the trial court has not entertained your claim for the said Rs. 4 lakhs, you may have to prefer an appeal against this aggrieved judgment before the appellate court.

3. The video conferencing facility has been provided with due instructions and procedures  by the regular courts.

It is still not known whether consumer forums are allowing video conferencing facilities to hear the cases or trial are conducted through video conferencing.

You may confirm the same through your sources.

The state commission cannot grant stay on the execution application. You should approach the national commission for this and also demand deficiency in services.

When the state commission has rejected your claim of deficiency in services then you have to file it in the national commission. Ask the national commission to direct the state commission to dispose the case expeditiously and take into consideration 4 lakh compensation again or let the national commission decide it.

You can email them If there is any available email if for urgent hearing and file the application online and proceed through VC. 

If not resolved you can move to NC but in pandemic you will not get any special relief there also. 

It's better to wait till the court functions as no Coercive action will be taken by any court in pandemic

1. You may have to file a hearing advance petition,  to which he has to file his counter objecting your petition after receiving a copy,  the court will hear the arguments of both sides fixed on another day and pass an order to advance the hearing date. 

This process itself would take another three to four months,  hence decide about it practically. 

2. See the above answer. 

3. No writ petition would be maintainable in this regard.
