ORDER (COMMON)

R. Subbiah, President.—As against the Order, dated 21.01.2016, passed by the DCDRF, Chennai-South, in C.C. No.52 of 2011, the complainant/Firm has filed F.A. No.69 of 2016 on the grievance that the District Forum ought to have allowed their total claim instead of allowing the complaint in part, while the Opposite Party/Export Credit Guarantee Corporation, by filing F.A. No.167 of 2017, seeks to set aside the impugned order in partly allowing the complaint and consequently directing them to pay the complainant a sum of Rs.6,51,081/- with interest @ 9% p.a. from the date of complaint till the date of payment, besides a sum of Rs.5,000/- towards litigation charges.

For the sake of convenience, the parties shall be referred to in the course of this order, as per their respective rankings before the District Forum.
