Consumer court

yes, if the company buy any service or maintenance related dispute can go for consumer forum.

A company is a seperate legal entity and it is a person in the eyes of law. Therefore, a company have every right to file a consumer complaint in the appropriate consumer forum.

Not only an individual, but also a company, a partnership firm, joint venture, a c0-0p seociety etc are eligible to file a consumer complaint againt any deficiency in service or unfair trade practice, provided it proves that it is a consumer as defined in Sec.2 (d)(i) of the Consumer Protection Act. Which means, the company should prove that it has availed goods/services from the other party paying consideration for the same.

I hope your query is resolved now...

Q) Can I Approach The Consumer Courts If I bought the Goods or Services for Commercial Purposes?

A) No, the Consumer Courts are only meant for the ordinary consumers who have bought goods & services for their own use or needs. Those who buy the goods/services for commercial purposes or resale purposes are excluded from the act. This forum is not meant for businesses ,firms and Industries but for the common man/consumer looking for quick & effective justice.

 Dear Keshava Ram,

Yes company can approach the consumer forum provided the good and services are not for resale or commercial purpose.
