One Ujir Sk. (here in after referred to as the Complainant) filed the case against The Franchis/Sector Manager Sahara India Pariwar & Anr. (here in after referred to as the OPs) praying for compensation alleging deficiency in service.

 The sum and substance of the complaint case is as follows:-

In spite of proper investment the O.P.s denied to pay the matured amount.

The complainant visited the Branch Office several times and requested the O.P.s to pay the same for time and again. But all went in vain.

Finding no other alternative the complainant filed the instant case before the District Commission for appropriate relief.

Defence Case
