On accepting the deposited sum the Opposite Party assured the Complainant the deposited amount would be doubled by dated 28.03.2001. The maturity time when reached the Complainant contacted the Opposite Party for the return of the deposited amount along with other profits. The Opposite Parties were not ready to take heed of the request of the Complainant instead them told one or other dates for the return of the amount. The Complainant altogether deposited Rs.4,500/- if the offer of the Opposite Party come to a truth the Complainant would have received Rs.18,000/-.
