The complainants case, in brief, is that  on dt.21.01.2020 the complainant was travelling  in OSRTC Bus  bearing  Regd. No- OD 02-AQ-4804 from   Keonjhar to Jhumpura.  But  the  said  bus  was moved  in  bye-pass  road  of Jhumpura instead of bus route, as a result   of which the complainant  could  not reach at Jhumpura  market  place in time . He got down on the bye-pass  road  in dark and  subsequently reached   at  Jhumura  market . Such acts of the O.Ps caused him mental agony and harassment.
The O.Ps  entered in  appearance  in this  case  and  submitted  their  version denying  the allegations of  complainant .The said  bus  was plying  on the route  as per  permit  granted  by Govt of Odisha . On the alleged date the Bus reached at Jhumpura market in right time but the Complainant did not make payment the Bus fare in spite  of  repeated  requests of the  Conductor, rather  threatened  to take  away his service .
The complainant files the Bus ticket showing his travelling  from Keonjhar to Jhumpura  . But  the   sole contention  of O.P is that the  complainant  did not  make  payment  his  fare  in spite  of  repeated  requests of conductor . Onus  is on the complainant  to prove  granting  of ticket  by conductors  on the alleged  date  through  independent  witness including  himself. Complainant could not produce sufficient evidence to prove that deficiency of service created by Ops. Simply filing of ticket creates doubt that it belongs to him  or not or manages to procure from other. However it bears no merit in this case.
 
At the  outset  it is  to be  seen that under  the nature  and  circumstances  of the case  , whether   he comes  under  the purview  of consumer  protection Act as  Consumer or not, But in this case the complainant is not a consumer because he could not established himself as a consumer due lack of evidence.  The  deficiency of service   to the  Complainant  is  not rendered  in this case, primarily for this reason. 
 Hence it  is ordered  that the  complainant  case  bears no merit  and  as such, dismissed .Under the above  circumstance there is no cost. 
Pronounced in open commission on this day of 30th July, 2022 under the seal and signature of commission.
