K.S. MOHI, PRESIDENT
The complainant has filed the present complaint against the O.P under section 12 of Consumer Protection Act, 1986. The facts as alleged in the complaint are that the complainant had purchased one motor cycle ( make Bajaj Discover 125 CC) for a sum of Rs. 45,366/- from OP. He had paid for insurance, road tax and RC. The OP after charging all kinds of taxes/ charges assessed price of motor cycle to the tune of Rs. 53,784/- out of which complainant paid Rs. 18,500/- by cash and also issued 08 blank signed cheques alongwith other documents as such ration card, bank statement, Driving License, Pan Card and Voter Identity Card. The OP had promised to advance loan of Rs. 35,284/- on the basis of Pan Card and Voter Identity Card. The OP had promised to advance loan of Rs. 35,284/- on interest @ of 9.5%. After some time the OP threatened and snatched the vehicle from complainant. The OP has committed deficiency in service in not giving document, RC, Insurance even after making full payment of the vehicle. Hence the present complaint.
2. The OP filed written statement admitting the fact that the vehicle was sold to the complainant with loan from Family Credit Ltd. The OP also admitted that on road price of the vehicle was Rs. 53,884/-. After making initial payment of Rs. 18,000/- on 17.04.2012, complainant did not make payment of Rs. 35,884/- till 20.07.2012 and after much persuasions complainant made payment of Rs. 35,000/- on 20.07.2012 which was short of Rs. 884/- . No harassment was done to the complainant, therefore, the complaint should be dismissed.
3. Complainant has filed replication denying contents of written statement and re-affirming the contents of complaint. He has filed his affidavit in evidence testifying all the facts stated in the complaint. On the other hand Sh. Brajesh Mudgal, Manager filed affidavit on behalf of the OP. He has mentioned document Ex.OPW-1/A.
4. We have seen the pleading and the documents. The assessment of the price for sale of vehicle was Rs. 53,884/- as communicated vide letter of OP dated 20.07.2012. The OP has already admitted, that it has received Rs. 18,000/- + 35,000/- and further submitted that the payment was short by Rs. 884/-. The complainant has shown another receipt dated 30.05.2012 whereby he had deposited Rs. 900/- with OP. If we calculate the entire payment being made by the complainant it is more than the sale price of the motor cycle. The OP has never claimed balance of Rs. 884/- This amounts to deficiency in service and unfair trade practice whereby illiterate and innocent people are made to suffer.
6. Keeping in view the discussion stated above we award a sum of Rs. 20,000/-in favour of complainant for harassment, mental agony and litigation expenses against the OP.
Copy of this order be sent to the parties as per rules.
File be consigned to the record room.
Announced this___29TH___ day of May___ 2019.
