c. That the complainant has already availed the warranty period during which the answering respondent has repaired / replaced the goods in question. The Complainant is thus legally stopped from enforcing this complaint or to take benefit of his own wrong.

The allegations of defect / default / negligence and / deficiency in service are wholly misconceived, groundless, false, untenable in law besides being extraneous and irrelevant having regard to the facts and circumstances of the matter under reference.
Prayer clause with all the submission made therein is absolutely wrong and is emphatically denied. Complainant is not entitled to any relief whatsoever and is not maintainable and is beyond the jurisdiction of this Honble Court and is liable to be dismissed summarily on this score alone and more fully set out in the preliminary objections. It is prayed that the complaint may kindly be dismissed with costs.

IN THE MATTER OF: Delay in new PNG connection by IGL Delhi
Victim : Vikram Singh
Dear Sir, I have applied for a new connection on 8th Sep 2011 and my money is deposited also from that day but I am still waiting for my connection. When the TP point for connection of four DDA houses is install. All new connections for that time and after that is provided to all customer in my colony.
During last 4 months to ask about my connection to many IGL people no one is taking the responsibility. All are coming for survey many times and telling we will give report to office.
I lodge a complaint on 8th June 2012 in IGL Head Office R.K. Puram, sector 9 to Mrs. Nidhi Joshi (Ph. No. 011 46074806). He told me that we will provide you this connection within one week.
Again people came for survey and told me that our contractor placed TP point in wrong place and from their not possible to give you connection and need to shift is other place. Contractor claimed his bill and received the money for this work already so you provide us your own labor and other payment and take also your responsibility for this work. But I am afraid about it because Gas pipe line is a sensitive matter and I dont have any experience about it.
So I request you that please take necessary action and help me to get new png connection as soon as possible.
I will thankfull to you in whole my life.

Then in feburary 2012, at the time of sleeping due to some pressure on it ,display screen got cracked then i approached samsung service center to repair the screen , they charged with hefty amount Rs 4564/- for the display screen. After 5 month its got another problem blinking display and automatic switch off without any reasons or damage. then i again approach samsung service center moti nagar..now they said its a display connector damage (one pin) so the display is not working properly and now it will cost Rs6000/-. although it is in warranty period and they also break my phones back cover(plastic body). and the connector damage is only due to their improper handling of phone. actually they break or damage some part of phone manually then overcharge customer . sir i am not in situation to pay Rs.6000/- for this damage.i had paid Rs 4564/- for damage screen but this damage is caused by the service center only. and they are saying its not our fault we will not repair the phone.
sir i want you to take immediate action regarding this other there is a huge ignorance of consumer act.
so, i want justice for that

At the time of buy i dint checked the cell as i was in a hurry & they told me to charge the battery first and then switch it on.
When i started the cell it worked for only 2 hours then all of a sudden it Switched off, I went back to Reliance Digital but they directly told me to go to Nokia Store and get it Serviced, i did that and even then the cell phone is having the same issues. I had already serviced this cell 3 times from Nokia Store and still the cell is having same issues.
Its body itself is not perfect and having some fitting problems.
At the time of buy they never told the policies but at the time of replacement they tell about as many policies as can.
Now Nokia Customer center is telling to get the cell phone replaced by Merchant only as this cell will not work at all in spite of Services.
For me i am stuck in middle of arguments to Nokia Care & Reliance Digital.
I did raised the concern on Reliance Facebook link also.
If Reliance Digital is not ready to replace the cell then i have to raise a complaint in Consumer Forum for sure.
Hoping for a quick and healthy response.
Thanks,

2. Phenomenal Plantations Limited was never black listed by SEBI.
3. In 1997-98 SEBI had asked all the plantations companies to close down the business & refund the money back to the investors within the stipulated period. Phenomenal Plantation Limited although it had not done any violation had also to close down the business as per the SEBI order.
4. Inspite of huge cash crunch & enormous pressure Phenomenal Plantations Limited is one of the honest plantation company to have repaid money to its investors alongwith interests, by giving reminders to its investors by post & through newspaper advertisements. 90% of the investors have already taken their money back alongwith interest & we again appeal through this Consumer Court Website to the balance investors to take their money alongwith interests.
5. Phenomenal Health Care business is a genuine business wherein the company is selling health care packages to its customers in which the company is offering Mediclaim & Accidental Death Insurance Coverage through Oriental Insurance Company. The company also gives Doctors Coupons to its customers, wherein company is having tie-up with Doctors & Hospitals all over India. Since Mediclaim & Accidental death Insurance Coverage is given through Oriental Insurance Company, the Company is only the proposer & not the insurer therefore there is no question of taking IRDA or SEBI registration for this business.
6. The Company had to take Registration from MCA (Ministry of Corporate Affairs) for which the Company had already taken registration to run the business as a Corporate Entity. The Registration Number is U45201MH1998PLC113098
7. The very fact that there are no complaints against the Company in West Bengal or anywhere from India except from the complaint from Mr. Navratan Lakhotia. Wherein, as per the company records he has taken the Health Care Package of Rs. 60,000 that he has to pay in 20 installments but he has not completed the whole installments. Still the Company has already asked the concerned Branch Manager of Siliguri branch to resolve the matter amicably to the satisfaction of Mr. Lakhotia.
As sales persn was not hving detail on othr chargs, taxes so took me to CRM, the person intruducd was supose to be experienced and one of the oldest employee. Hey I furgot to tell u these are unprofessionals to the core. They were busy in discussing between them about harry poter movie. Made me to wait 20 minutes. My intrst was already reducd still thought to continue .
Finaly these CRM manager met ME half heartdly and was behaving terible, as if advicing not to take. I was disappointd due to wastage of time. By virtue of this experience I suggest better to avoid this developer. Even I heard CRM is non courteus in every stage and they give wrong projection on construction because of this projects are delayd more than couple of years.

As I am unable to get any response from the company I am requesting you to please help me in resolution of the matter.

In consideration of the technical feasibility, the undersigned had made online payment of Rs. 4,899.00 on 19th June 2014 for the said connection. It was provided in writing that the said connection will be activated within 07 days of payment i.e. by 26th June 2014.
Whereas, the company failed to provide the said connection. On asking the representative, she informed that there is no cable in my area from their side and their finance department is not providing the due approvals for new cables. This is in spite of the fact that they had provided a technical feasibility confirmation to me. This technical feasibility confirmation was a false declaration on their part. I have been repeatedly trying to call their phone numbers. I had lodged an official complaint on their phone no. 7600078787 which was acknowledged vide no. 2014070512980 on 05th July 2014. Whereas, on 13th July 2014, they forwarded a SMS on my mobile stating that my complaint has been processed. Whereas, no result was actually provided. Neither they have provided the service connection nor are they prepared to refund my money. I have also tried to reason out by mails and phone calls to their nodal officer. Whereas, vide her mail dated -08th July 2014, Ms. Anjana Sharma (The Nodal Officer) informed me that they are providing the connection On top priority without any confirmation on the deadline date. Their phone nos. are not attended and mobile phone no. of Ms. Anjana Sharma is always switched off. I spoke to their appellate authority Ms. Divya Singh on her mob no. 9825286495 on 3 to 4 occasions. Every time she promised that she will call me back with the results within some time. But, she never got back to me with any results and instead has stopped attending to my phone calls. My money must be refunded immediately.

I had internet post paid connection from TATA DOCOMO.
ACCOUNT NUMBER 9282583112
Ref :- Call logs for more details
On last Feb 2014, I took the decision not to use your post paid service because of several reasons. At that time I spoke to your customer care representative over phone and they advised me to go to the retail outlet for the same. On Feb 22, 2014, I visited your Poondamalei High road outlet. As advised, I paid the outstanding amount of 1124/- and raised the request to cancel the post paid service. Please find the below transaction details.
They promised this would happen in next 5 working days and provided me the ticket (Request for Cancellation)
After that, again I contacted and came to know this had not happened and they raised another request to do the same. This also had never happened. After that I contacted several times over phone and nothing had been worked out and the connection was active. Please find one such email as attached. I was kept on getting bills during those days( February 2014 to April 2014) which I have never used. I have requested many times to stop sending bills but this had never happened.
Again in 21 May 2014 one of your collection representative come to my house and collect the amount of Rs. 2336/- vide Bill No: 734816 dated 21st May 2014 and device also along with a letter. In that letter I clearly mentioned it is the final settlement. I consider this kind of business practice is highly unethical and sort of customer harassment. Now I got a legal notice to pay the amount which is completely illegal this has to be withdrawn as soon as possible.
Please note that I followed all the procedure and as per the instruction I paid all the outstanding dues at your outlet on May 26th and raised the request to cancel the service. Please stop harassing me the way you are doing since last couple of months by phone calls. Otherwise I have decided to take the shelter of the consumer court. For your kind information at present I was not in the Chennai Station. I have all proof what I mentioned above (like request form, ticket nos, and Bills).
