Content of the complainant petition is that the complainant invested money amount of Rs 20,000/- on 16.12.2011 to the Ops Sahara Company within an undertaken by the com-any to return on 16.12.2019 as an amount of Rs 52,240/- but on expiry of maturity date this OP disbursed not a single amount to him though repeatedly was requested by the Complainant on going to their office with all of his documents certificates etc. His certificate number is 35100L605858, receipt no 800435936474 and account no 1611870125. Hence he approached before this commission for an amount of Rs 52,240/- and 1lac for compensation and 1lac 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 is as debtor and creditor and the transaction between them 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.
