JUDGMENT
The facts of the complaint in brief is that, the complainant has deposited Rs.52,750/- on dt.26.11.2012 at Ops office and the OP has issued certificate bearing No.361001436050 vide A/c No.24214202377 in favour of the complainant and the said account has been matured on dt.26.11.2016 but till date the Ops have not paid the maturity amount to the complainant. The complainant contacted the Ops from time to time but the Ops has paid a deaf ear and due to non payment of the said amount the complainant sustained mental agony and hence prayed to direct the Ops to pay the maturity amount with up to date interest and to pay compensation for mental agony for harassment and grant such other relief as the forum deems fit and proper. Hence, this complaint.
