Hello, I have filed a case in NCDRC and hearing has started. I also hear about circuit benches that keep happening time to time in different cities. Is there a process to request my case to be handled through any such bench in my city (Bangalore) or court automatically allocates this as per complaintnant's location? Kindly let me know Thanks, Rajiv
Next circuit bench will held at Kolkatta. Ready held in Blore, next till take time. Cases list for hearing in circuit benches acc. to year of admission. This decides by Chairmen (PO) - NCDRC.
Rare possible that fresh matters will heard - old matters are list for early disposal.
See you can file an application and pray for matter to be heard and listed at circuit bench in your city if in near future the bench proposed to be sitting in your city.
Your lawyer can request that your case be listed before circuit bench in your city
Dear
It cannot be automatic. You have to move an application to send your file to Bengaluru Circuit Bench and submit the grounds for the said reason .
No it can't be transferred without jurisdiction
1. Circuit Bench of NCDRC is not a routine or static court and functions only on specified /designated dates, for only certain type of cases that have reached certain stage.
2. You can move application before NCDRC, for consideration to send matter to Circuit Bench of your City, as & when designated.
If the case has started then don't intervene and let it finish there.
Regards
The Central government has notified several places including Chandigarh for holding Circuit Benches under Section 22 C of the Consumer Protection Act. Earlier, the sittings have taken place at Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Pune, Cochin, Ahmedabad, Bhopal, Shimla Kolkata and Nagpur.
Justice (Retired) DK Jain, President of the National Commission is credited with the move of holding Circuit Benches of NCDRC outside New Delhi. The aim was fast redressal of complaints that come from various state commissions.You may watch for the dates from the consumer forum website
..
1. Circuit benches are notified depending on the pendency of cases in a particular region.
2. Nothing stops you from making a request.
Circuit benches of NCDRC sits on major cities once in a year at a scheduled time and dates.
By no means you can ask for it at your convenient time .
So it is foolish to wait for it and only if in that time if your case is fixed for hearing then the Bench on its own would fix yours in the circuit bench or you can request for it.
Hi,
You may file an application to this effect before the principal bench to this effect.
file an application of transfer of case from the state commission can put up case in front of the circuit bench.
1. You can make an application through your lawyer for hearing of case before circuit bench.
2. Forum will send your case before circuit bench when ever it Will held in your city.
