Content of the complainant petition is that the complainant invested money amount of Rs 15,000/- for 12 months to the Ops Sahara Company within an undertaken by the company to return on 15.10.2020 as an amount of Rs 15,203/- but on expiry of maturity date this OP disbursed not a single amount to him though repeatedly was requested by the Complainant on going to their office with all of his documents certificates etc. His investment account no 16117801138. Hence he approached before this commission for an amount of Rs 15,203/-and 30,000/- for harassment and mental agony and 50,000/- for litigation cost.

OP contested the case on submission that they are willing to pay but due to embargo by the apex court unable to pay. Apart from that complainant did not produce KYC documents and original certificate of investment. Moreover this complainant is not consumer. The relation in between them is as debtor and creditor and the transaction between them as commercial or financial transaction. So the remedy is The Civil Court not this Commission. Due to the dispute with company and SEBI, this delay in payment arises. Finally due to the embargo in apex court, the company cannot dispose their asset and could not pay the investors. They have no fault at all.
