The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission president here has filed a case against an advocate for allegedly filing cases before the Commission in the names of various persons without their knowledge.
Sources in the District Consumer Court here said advocate S. Brammanayagam alias Bramma had filed a few hundred cases against various business establishments in Tirunelveli, Tenkasi and Thoothukudi districts in different names seeking compensation for alleged defective service or having allegedly sold defective or inferior products. However, he had reportedly filed many of these cases before the Commission without the knowledge of the complainants, who are known to him personally.
When a person from Palayamkottai came to know that around 10 cases had been filed in his name, he filed a complaint with Commission president Gladstone Blessed Tagore, a retired judge.
Subsequently, Mr. Tagore filed the case, which has been admitted by a Judicial Magistrate Court that posted it for hearing to August 22.
