When the opposite party got the first complaint on 13.5.2019, then they sent the spare parts through Mr. Virag along with the driver on 8.6.2019 and the maintenance engineer personally visited her unit and rectified the defect. But the complainant alleged deficiency in service on the part of the opposite party.
