Facts in brief:-
1. The case of the complainant is that he had entrusted his washing meachine with opposite party on 28-1-2015 for repair work and the same was returned to the complainant on 31-1-15 after the repair work. But the defects was not rectified and it is still not functioning. Eventhough the matter was intimated to the opposite party, he did not respond. Hence this complaint.
2. The opposite party received the registered notice issued by this Forum, but did not turn up. No representation on his behalf and no version was filed. His name was called in the open forum and the case against him was set exparte.
3. Complainant filed Ex-parte Affidavit and the document produced by him was marked as Ext. A1 which is a receipt issued by opposite party showing the repair charges. No contra evidence was adduced by the opposite party. Hence the case of the complainant is proved.
In the result, we order that the opposite party shall refund the repair charge of Rs.1070/- along with a compensation of Rs.5000/- ( Five Thousand only) for the mental agony and hardships suffered by the complainant within one month from the date of receipt of copy of this order.
