Content of the complaint petition is that this complainant invested Rs. 73,000/- for 12 months to the Ops Sahara Company on 06.12.2019 under account no 16117801521, 16117801522, 16117801523, 16117801524 and 16117801525. The complainant is entitled to get Rs. 79,205/- on 06.12.2020. But on expiry of such period this Ops did not pay any single amount to the Complainant, though she repeatedly went to their office and deposited all documents of investments. Hence it is an unfair trade practice on behalf of the Sahara Company and also a deficiency service at their part. Hence she approached before this commission for an amount of Rs. 79,205/-and Rs 50,000/- for compensation for her mental agony and harassment and 10,000/- for litigation cost.

          OP contested the case on submission that they are willing to pay but due to embargo by the apex court unable to pay. Apart from that complainant did not produce KYC documents and original certificate of investment. Moreover this complainant is not consumer. The relation in between them as debtor and creditor and the transaction between them is as commercial or financial transaction. So the remedy is “The Civil Court” not this Commission. Due to the dispute with company and SEBI, this delay in payment arises. Finally due to the embargo in apex court, the company cannot dispose their asset and could not pay the investors. They have no fault at all.

          C.F paid is correct.
