The grievance of the complainant is that his mobile Phone.No.9895444444 has been disconnected by opposite parties on 4-8-2012 without any notice. The complainant further submits that as per the direction of opposite parties he paid Rs.21,000/-. The opposite party failed to reconnect the telephone connection with the above said fancy number. Hence the complaint is filed.
2. Opposite parties after receipt of notice filed an application challenging the maintainability of the complaint itself, before the Forum.
3. Heard both sides. Section 7B of the Indian Telegraph Act, 1885 is applicable in the present case and the jurisdiction of Consumer district Forum is barred as per the decision of the Apex Court i.e. General Manager Telecom V M.Krishnan reported in 2009 (8) SCC 481 and therefore the complaint is not maintainable and is hereby dismissed for want of jurisdiction. However, the complainant may approach the appropriate authority for redressal of his grievance.
