            Facts in brief are that OPs are the chit fund company. OPs launched a deposit scheme for investment. Complainant invested her hard saving money of Rs.40,000/- in four certificates. Complainant invested the money with a view to get return of Rs.80,000/-. Complainant had no idea whether OPs had required permission from the competent authority. Complainant made attempt to get money back with maturity value. But of no use. Complainant sent a legal notice through her Advocate. But that also did not yield any result. So Complainant filed this case.

            OPs did not contest the case by filing written version. So, the case is heard ex-parte.

            Decision with reasons

            Complainant filed affidavit-in-chief and brief notes on argument.

            Main point for determination is whether Complainant is entitled to the reliefs as prayed for.

            On perusal of the affidavit-in-chief and brief notes on argument, it appears that Complainant has reiterated the facts mentioned in the complaint petition.

            Complainant has filed Xerox copy of the documents. Further, on perusal of the prayer portion of the complaint petition, it appears that Complainant has prayed for return amount of Rs.80,000/- and compensation of Rs.1,00,000/-.

            Further, on perusal of the Xerox copy of the bond, it appears that return date of bond in 2 certificates re 24.6.2017 and in another two on 7.6.2018. Quantum of final return is also mentioned in the Xerox copy of the bond as Rs.20,000/- for each of the bonds.

            This complaint was filed on 24.4.2017 that means at a premature stage. In the view, Complainant is not entitled to the reliefs as prayed in the complaint petition.

            Hence ordered

            CC/239/2017 and the same is dismissed ex-parte.
