C.C. No. 582/2016

Order No. 23

Dated. 10.06.2022

The case is taken up for final order. It was heard on 03/06/2022 from the side of the O.P. No. 2. The Complainant and the O.P. No. 1 were absent at the time of hearing.

The Complainant in this case prayed for an order for making payment of the money that was receivable by him as the refund of excise duty from the Government of India and also for interest. The Complainant purchased an MUV Station Wagon car from the O.P. No. 2 who told him that he was entitled to get refund of excise duty but the manufacturer / O.P. No. 1 did not take any initiative for processing of the said refund. Hence, the Complainant filed this case for the refund.

At the time of argument, the O.P. No. 2 pointed out that he was not in any way concerned regarding the refund and anything that should be done was by O.P. No. 1 / manufacturer. Since, there is no complaint regarding any service of the car that was purchased the O.P. No. 1 was exempted from any liability and prayed for dismissal of the case against him.

It appears that the Complainant did not pursue his case against the O.P. No. 1 and remained absent at the time of argument and therefore we find that the Complainant has no present grievances against the O.P. No. 1 regarding the prayer for refund of the excise duty as per prayers of the complaint and therefore we find that the case has no merit and therefore it is liable to be dismissed.

Hence,

It is Ordered,

That the case C.C. 582/2016 be and the same is dismissed on contest against the O.P. No. 2 and ex-parte against the O.P. No. 1.

Let a copy of this order be given to the parties free of cost.
