The OP in all the above complaints are common, the question involved, relief claimed being the same, in order to avoid the repetition of facts and multiplicity of reasonings, the above cases are stand disposed of by this common order. 2. The case of the complainants to be stated in brief is that: The object of the OP is to provide a privileges and facilities who are the members of the OP. OP utterly failed to provide facilities as per the guidelines of the OP. Hence, the subject matter of dispute deficiency of service is made by the OP. OP invited applications offering certain privilege and facilities on becoming Mr. Kool Card members. The complainants became the members by paying membership fee in part and some of the complainants paid entire membership fee. The complainants claims that they have not utilized any facility, they demanded to refund the entire amount paid as OP utterly failed to provide facilities as per the guidelines. The complainants raised loans from other friends, at present they have mental tortures and deprived of the right. They invested huge amounts with hard earned money, they are unable to reap the fruits of their investments and hostile attitude of the OP, they have suffered both mental agony and financial loss. Thus the complainants are seeking for refund of the amounts paid in addition they have also claiming compensation for mental agony and financial loss.

On appearance, OP filed the version in all these complaints. The contentions of OP is identical. It is contended that the complaints are false, frivolous and vexatious and the same have been filed with a malafide intention of harassing OP. The prayer sought for by the complainants being ambiguous, vague and without proper description, the complaints are not maintainable. The complimentary plots are already allotted in favour of the complainants who have paid the entire membership fee, but they have failed to pay the registration and maintenance charges and they have not come forward to complete the registration process. Complimentary site would be allotted after full payment of membership fee. The membership fee is Rs.1,25,000/-. Some of the complainants have paid part of the amount. They are not entitled for the complimentary sites. There is no deficiency in service on the part of the OP. OP is providing all the services; complimentary sites would be allotted at Vedic Spa as soon as the complainants deposit the entire membership amount. The complainants having already utilized the services provided by OP are now trying to coerce to refund the amounts. The membership fee paid is non refundable, the complainants failed to show the deficiency of service on the part of the OP. The complainants have not given any details regarding the alleged violation of the terms and conditions by the OP. The allegation that the terms and conditions were not complied by OP is a bald statement without any basis. It is denied that the complainants have raised loan from other friends and they are put to mental torture and they have been deprived of alleged rights. Hence it is prayed to dismiss the complaints with exemplary costs. 4. In order to substantiate the complaint averments, each one of these complainants have filed their affidavit evidence. The Senior Manager Customer Care of OP filed the affidavit evidence and produced documents. 5. Arguments on complainant site heard, OP side taken as heard. Point for consideration is Whether the complaints filed in the present form are maintainable? 6. We record our findings on the above point in the Negative. R E A S O N S 7. After perusing the complaints in all these cases the complaint averments are stereo type except the amounts mentioned. The complaint averments are vague and ambiguous. No specific pleading is available in the complaints to find out the deficiency in service on the part of the OP para 3 of the complaints reads: The object of the opposite party to provide a privileges and facilities who are the members of the opposite party. The opposite party utterly failed to provides facilities as per the guidelines of the opposite party. Hence, the subject matter of the dispute deficiency of service is made by the opposite party. 8. After going through this para we are unable to make out as to what the complainants intend to allege against the OP. The complainants have not produced anything to show the guidelines of OP as alleged in this para. Without making proper grounds in the pleadings with regard to deficiency in service, the complaints cannot be entertained. The pleadings are ambiguous, vague and without any clarity. The complainants ought to have pleaded in detail the facilities and services assured by OP; while receiving the membership fee and further the details of the facilities and services not provided by OP, so as to make out a case of deficiency in service on the part of the OP. Under these circumstances we are of the view that all these complaints with vague pleadings are not maintainable. However the complainants are at liberty to file fresh complaints in case if they are so advised with specific pleadings regarding deficiency in service on the part of the OP. Merely because the complaints filed against OP in other cases are allowed, holding that there is deficiency in service on the part of the OP, these complaints cannot be allowed on that basis. Accordingly we proceed to pass the following: O R D E R The complaints filed are dismissed as not maintainable. The complainants are at liberty to file complaints with specific pleadings if so advised with regard to deficiency in service on the part of the OP. Considering the nature of disputes no order as to costs. This original order shall be kept in the file of the complaint No.2970/2009 and a copy of it shall be placed in other respective files. Send the copy of this order to both the parties free of cost.
