Place: ______________ Date: [filing_date] [appellant_name] APPELLANT VERIFICATION I verify that the contents of this appeal are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief, and that nothing material has been concealed. [appellant_name] IMPORTANT — LIMITATION AND PRE-DEPOSIT - An appeal against an order of a District Commission lies to the State Commission within THIRTY DAYS of the order. An appeal from the State Commission lies to the National Commission within THIRTY DAYS. Delay may be condoned for sufficient cause. - Where the appellant is the party directed to pay an amount, the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 requires a PRE-DEPOSIT of fifty per cent of that amount before the appeal is entertained. This is a mandatory precondition, not a matter of discretion, and an appeal filed without it will not be taken up. - Obtain a certified copy of the impugned order promptly; the time taken to obtain it is ordinarily excluded in computing limitation.
