(Per MR.S.R.KHANZODE, HON’BLE PRESIDING JUDICIAL MEMBER)
(1) Heard. This appeal is directed against the order dtd. 25/04/2011 passed in Consumer Complaint No.196/2011 – Shri Arvind Janardan Khandake Vs. HDFC Bank Ltd. by the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Kolhapur (The Forum in short). The complaint is dismissed and the appeal is filed.
(2) Admittedly, appellant/original complainant purchased the vehicle in auction sale of two-wheelers. The deficiency in service on the part of the respondent/original opponent pleaded is that they did not transfer the vehicle in the name of appellant/original complainant. It is conceded by the appellant/original complainant that he has already received possession of the vehicle. The Forum below after discussing the relevant material on record, dismissed the present complaint and feeling aggrieved thereby this appeal is preferred.
(3) Considering fact that the vehicle was purchased by the appellant/original complainant as per the terms of auction, as far as transfer of vehicle is concerned, the same was not transferred since there were arrears of taxes which were to be cleared before the transfer. Hence, the respondent/original opponent cannot be held responsible. Therefore, no fault could be found with the impugned order. Hence, we hold accordingly and pass the following order.
ORDER
(1) The appeal is not admitted and stands dismissed off accordingly.
(2) No order as to costs.
