Dear Client, From the contents of the query, it appears that the Gurgaon Consumer Commission has dismissed your complaint on the grounds of territorial jurisdiction and the deficiency in service was raised after the warranty period of the vehicle. Once a complaint is dismissed by the District Consumer Commission, the complaint has three options to follow - 1) to file an application under Section 40 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 seeking a review of the order passed by the Commission dismissing the complaint within 30 days of the order, 2) to file an appeal against the order of the Dist. Commission under Section 41 of the Act to the State Commission within 45 days of the Order and/or 3) to file a Revision Petition before the State Commission within 90 days from the date of receipt of the certified copy of the order passed by the Dist. Commission. So, based on the date of order of the Dist. Commission you have to take appropriate steps that suit your purpose in connection with the filing of a Review/Appeal/Revision petition seeking appropriate relief arising out of deficiency in service that relates to Product liability as defined under Sec.2(34) of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 which means the responsibility of a product manufacturer or product seller, to compensate for any harm caused to the consumer by such defective product manufactured or sold or for a deficiency in services relating thereto and Chapter VI, Section 82 to Section 87 of the Consumer Protection Act deals with product liability.

I will have to look in to the Companies Act of Tanzania to figure out the rights of the minority shareholder plus the banking laws of Tanzania that how enabled they were legally to take that action. But on a general legal premise minority shareholders can not approach the bank asking them to freeze the account as they would not be having the authority to do so, unless allowed under local Tanzanian law. At the same time the bank did not receive the request to freeze either form the singatories or a court so I would consider that the bank has breached the contract. Ideally bank should have contacted the company signatory before taking any action.

Dear Client, The overlapping in service in respect of previous and present establishment and any anomaly or discrepancy in EPF records in respect of a fund of any registered member is a ground for future dispute. When your EPF record shows an anomaly in the joining and exit date in both the XXX & YYY Company which is contradictory, then until and unless those anomalies are rectified by the concerned employers, PF records will show dual employment. A joint declaration form is used to correct Provident Fund (PF) member details. It is a combined form that the employee and employer sign and submit to the regional PF commissioner to update the wrong information entered in the employees’ PF accounts. An EPF member should fill out the joint declaration form to correct details like father’s name, joining date, Exit date, etc., as these details will be verified against the Aadhaar. The EPF members or employees should physically submit the joint declaration form to the regional PF office with which the company or establishment is registered. An employee cannot update the service history. Only an employer can rectify the error in the employment record of the EPFO. So if an employee finds an error in the database, he should contact their present or previous employers and get it corrected. Further, Background verification(BGV) check is a process many organizations carry out to verify the information provided by the candidate during hiring. Verification of EPFO records through UAN is critical for conducting employee background checks because it allows employers to confirm that their employees are not using false or stolen identities to gain employment. In case of a negative background verification check an employer can even reject/terminate the employment of the candidate. In the given situation, to resolve the issue of overlapping in the P F records of both employers, you need to approach the office of the Regional P F Commissioner who is the competent authority to resolve any anomaly arising out of the date of appointment and date of discharge in EPF records. An individual can file a complaint using the EPF i-Grievance Management System (www. https://epfigms.gov.in/). Once you succeed in wiping out the stigma of dual employment from your EPF records with the cooperation of your previous and present employer, your scope of employment with other companies will be restored with clean employment records. In case of non-cooperation from both previous and current employers which amounted to unfair labour practice, you may bring the matter to the notice of the concerned Labour Commissioner or Asst. Labour Commissioner/LEO for a resolution in the matter.
