Shri S.K. Ojha, President In-Charge :-  This is the case of a consumer, who fallen in the net of one online service provider who provide jobs to the individuals in different companies.

The complainant’s case in brief is that, he received a phone call from the O.P for arrangement of jobs of different companies, on which the complainant had got interested. The O.P demanded some amounts regarding some charges / consultancy fees for providing job facility. Being agreed the complainant sent amounts of Rs.87,299/- only in total in different dates and regularly been in contact with the O.P through emails and telephonic. But the O.P did not provide either any job facility to the complainant or refunded his amount taken from the complainant till date even after several approaches by the complainant. Hence this case.

    Being noticed to the O.P., the notice returned back with endorsement ‘addressee not found’. The complainant provided two email addresses of the O.P. Further notice sent through both the emails for appearance and filing of written version, which have been received by the O.P( a print out of email sent report attached with the case record )  and presumed to be notice served properly as per the provision of U/S 28A(2) of the Consumer Protection Act. 1986. The O.P. ultimately set ex- parte after providing sufficient opportunities to him.

Heard from the complainant, gone through the case record with documents available. The complainant who is residing at Jharsuguda to whom the O.P. contacted and gave greed to the complainant to provide job facility, for which, the O.P used to take several types of charges / consultancy fees. The complainant, who was in searching of some jobs, agreed with the O.P and sent amounts as suggested by the O.P. The complainant sent the amounts through transferring of funds from ICICI Bank on different dates which amounts to Rs.87,299/- only in total till date. It was not enough, the O.P. was demanding some more amounts from the complainant, but by asking of the complainant about his said job which he deserved to be, the O.P neglected and assured to give, but further, the O.P. neither receiving any phone call of the complainant nor refunding his said amount. Moreover, in this case, the O.P kept silent by neither appearing nor filing its show cause even after noticing through emails, which reveals   its attitude and presumed to be nothing to say in this case.

            The consultancy firms / organizations who trap the innocent young individuals / unemployed persons / persons seeking for better jobs, very easily and able to take handsome amount from them and afterwards while asking about the job or refund of money, they simply act as an unknown, such types of mis-convincing  / trade practices must be  discouraged, checked and penalized.

          On the above facts and circumstances the O.P is found to be committing of gross deficiency in service by not providing any job to the complainant after assurance and unfair trade practice by not refunding the amounts taken from the complainant. Hence,  we are in considered opinion to allow the complaint petition by directing the O.P to refund  Rs.87,299/- ( Rupees eighty seven thousand two hundred ninety nine ) only  to the complainant along with pay a sum of Rs. 30,000/- ( Rupees thirty thousand ) only  towards mentally agony and litigation cost within thirty days from the date of receiving of this order, failing which the O.P. shall be liable to pay interest @ 10% per annum on the above mentioned awarded amounts till realization.                     

            Accordingly the case is disposed of.

Order pronounced in the open court today the 25^th  day of August’ 2014 and copy of this order shall be supplied to the parties as per rule.              

                                                                              I Agree.
