Consumer Redressal

Q.Whether such service provider is a customer under C.P.Act? Service Provider[SP] is a professional & self-employed person having knowledge & experience in civil construction matter offered his service ,as a private entity to a Service Acceptor[SA] which is (P) Ltd Co.,a Builder for laying various roof slabs at different floors of civil construction as per drawing with the help of various inputs I.e scaffolding, jigs fixtures, human resources (skilled &unskilled) ,plant and equipment,various construction materials etc.A contract document was signed but taken back by SA while execution was carrying on. SP was not given back the contract document. Some running account payment was made but an amount of about Rs 27.0 Lakh remain unpaid. As a result SP could not pay to his workers,statutory creditors and his sustenance become questionable. Let me know whether SP can be considered as Customer under C.P.Act
