This appeal is filed against the order dated 30/09/2016 passed by the Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, South Goa (The "Forum", for short), whereby the Complaint No. 21/2015 has been partly allowed and the Appellants (Opposite Parties) have been directed to register the sale deed of the Respondent (Complainant) within 30 days of the receipt of the order and also to pay a sum of Rs. 10,000/- to the Respondent (Complainant) and to deduct the said sum from the salary of the officer who is responsible for the negligence of illegally withholding the registration of the sale deed.
