ORDER REGARDING ADMISSION Complainant has approached this forum with this complaint contending that she had applied for allotment of a plot to Ops by paying advance amount of Rs.2.00 lakhs, when Ops failed to provide her site, she demanded repayment of advance money and the Ops though had issued cheque/s for repayment of amount but on presentation, they are bounced and therefore, has prayed for a direction to the Ops to refund her money with interest. In the course of hearing, the complainant who is in person submitted that the Ops have already refunded advance money through cheques but cheques are bounced and she has also initiated proceeding against Ops under section 138 of Negotiable Instrument Act and there has been delay in trail of those cases. In view of the fact, when the Ops have already refunded advance money through cheques and cheques are bounced, the remedy to the complainant is under the provisions of Negotiable Instrument Act and not under the Consumer Protection Act. Complainant shall have to exhaust her remedy U/S 138. Proceeding has already been initiated on the bounced cheque and therefore, complaint is not maintainable and is dismissed at the stage of admission. MEMBER MEMBER PRESIDENT
