The instant appeal has been filed by Dr. Amit Singh -complainant (appellant) against the order dated February 24^th, 2016 passed by District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Yamuna Nagar (for short ‘District Forum’).  For ready reference, operative part of the order is reproduced as under:-

“11.   Resultantly, we partly allow the complaint of complainant and direct the OP to refund a sum of Rs.171/- (396-225) to the complainant,, charged in excess and also to pay a sum of Rs.1000/- as compensation for mental agony and harassment as well as litigation expenses.  Order be complied within 30 days after preparation of copy of this order failing which complainant shall be entitled to invoke the jurisdiction of this Forum as per law….”

  

 

2.      On March 11^th, 2014, when complainant visited Yamuna Nagar, his car became out of order due to some defect in the steering.  The complainant had purchased a part of steering from the respondent for Rs.395.95 vide bill No.4807 dated March 11^th, 2014 (Exhibit C-1).  The Maximum Retail Price printed on the part was Rs.224.77/-.  The complainant raised objection to the respondent but to no avail. 

3.      The complaint was partly accepted by the District Forum and issued direction to the respondent as mentioned in paragraph No.1 of this order.

4.      Learned counsel for the appellant has urged that the amount of compensation awarded is on lower side and deserves enhancement.

5.      The District Forum has directed the respondent to refund Rs.171/- which was charged in excess from the complainant and also awarded Rs.1000/- compensation to the complainant.  This being so, the complainant has been adequately compensated and as such, no case for interference in the impugned order is made out.

6.      The appeal is therefore dismissed.
