1.             Sunil Arora, complainant has preferred the present complaint against the opposite parties (referred to as OPs in short) on the ground that he  invested an amount of Rs.50000/-  with OPs  vide registration  number  SP0017000100  on  28.08.2013 which was to be matured on 26.08.2016. On maturity, the OPs had to repay an amount of Rs.72145/- as maturity amount.  After the maturity date, on 10.04.2017 the complainant submitted original registration certificate and fulfilled all the formalities for releasing the maturity amount.  On 11.04.2017  the OP no.2 transferred an amount of Rs.3943/- in the account of the complainant. Thereafter the complainant requested the OPs so many times to release the  entire remaining amount but they have been putting off the matter on one pretext or the other.  The OPs did not release the remaining amount till today. Thus, alleging deficiency in service on the part of OPs, the complainant has sought following reliefs:- 

i)      OPs be directed to pay Rs.68202/- along with upto date interest @12% per annum from 26.08.2016 till realization,

ii)     OPs be directed to pay to the complainant a sum of Rs.40000/- on account unfair trade practice and Rs.40,000/- on account of mental torture, agony and inconvenience and Rs. 30000/- as litigation expenses.

2.             In reply filed by the OP no.2, it is stated that the complainant filed the present complaint on the basis of policy which is policy of the OPs. The complainant filed the complaint by concealing the facts from the Hon'ble Forum. There is no deficiency in service or unfair trade practice.

3.             OPs no. 1 had been given up by the complainant and OP no.3 was proceeded exparte.  

4.             The complainant has tendered documents Ex.C-1 to Ex.C-4 and closed evidence. Despite affording opportunities to the OPs, no evidence has been produced even nor filed vakaltnama on behalf of the OPs and as such on 25.10.2017 OP no.2 was also proceeded exparte.

5.             From the perusal of documents placed on the file and after hearing the arguments of the learned counsel for the complainant, we find  that it is the case of the complainant that he  obtained a policy bearing registration  number SP0017000100  on  28.08.2013 which was to be matured on 26.08.2016 and on maturity, the OPs had to repay an amount of Rs.72145/- as maturity amount which is evident from the policy document Ex.C-2. After the maturity date, on 11.04.2017 the complainant submitted original registration certificate and fulfilled all the formalities for releasing the maturity amount  but the OP no.2 on 11.04.2017  transferred Rs.3943/- in the account of complainant and thereafter the complainant's requested the OPs so many times to release the entire remaining amount but the OPs did not pay the same till today. The complainant has produced on record copy of account statement Ex.C-4 which shows that an amount of Rs.3943/- has been credited in the account of the complainant but the OPs did not release the remaining amount despite so many requests to the OPs.     

6.             For the reasons recorded above, we allow the complaint and direct the OPs to pay to the complainant remaining amount of Rs.68202/- alongwith interest @ 9% per annum from the date of filing of the complaint till realization.  The OPs are further directed to pay an amount of Rs.3500/- on account of mental pain agony and harassment and Rs.1100/- as litigation expenses. 

7.             This order of ours shall be complied with within 60 days from the date of receipt of copy of the order. A copy of the order be supplied to the parties free of charge. File be consigned to records in due course.
