ORDER

By Sri. P.C. PAULACHEN – PRESIDENT 

           This is a complaint filed under section 35 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.

2.  The case of the complainant, in brief, is as follows:

      The complainant booked one Ola S1 pro electric scooter making down payment of Rs.26,344/-.  The total price was Rs.1,51,344/-.  The balance amount of Rs.1,25,000/- was  raised  by way of bank loan.  The vehicle was registered on 02-01-2023. But the opposite party has not delivered the vehicle so far.  Hence the complaint claiming compensation of Rs.2,00,000/-

3. The opposite party was set ex-parte.

4. The points that arise for determination in this case are :

1. Whether there was any deficiency of service or unfair trade practice on the part of the opposite party, as alleged?
2. Reliefs and costs.

5. Point No.1 – The opposite party was set as ex-parte. The case was posted for evidence of the complainant several times. But the complainant also remained absent and did not file affidavit or adduce any evidence.  The fact that the opposite party was set ex-parte does not automatically entitles the complainant to get the relief sought for.  It is for the complainant to prove the allegations in the complaint by adducing proper evidence. But the complainant in this case has utterly failed to prove her case. No deficiency of service or unfair trade practice as alleged is proved against the opposite party.

6. Point No.2:  In view of the finding on the above point, the complainant is not entitled to get the relief sought for and the complaint is only to be dismissed. 

In the result, CC 25/2023 is dismissed. No order as to costs.

Pronounced in open Commission on this the 26^rd day of April, 2023.

Date of Filing: 19/01/2023.
