(3) In-view of the findings on Point Nos- 1 & 2, we proceed to pass the final order for the following : REASONS POINT NO.1 & 2:- 6. To prove the facts involved in these two points, affidavit-evidence of the complainant was filed who is noted as PW-1 and documents Ex.P-1 to Ex.P-6 are marked. 7. Opposite No-2 not filed written version and also not filed any affidavit-evidence by denying the claim of complainant. 8. In the circumstances stated above, we have appreciated the affidavit-evidence of the complainant PW-1 and documentary evidences produced before us. 9. It is a fact that, the complainant purchased 5 new Desert Air Coolers from M/s. Rajendra Traders, Hyderabad. Further from the affidavit-evidence of him, it is very much clear that, he booked all the 5 Desert Air Coolers in the office of opposite No-1 for to transport the said goods from Hyderabad to Raichur. 10. It is also a fact that, the complainant noticed in the office of opposite No-2 at Raichur that all the 5 new Desert Air Coolers damaged while transporting those goods from Hyderabad to Raichur. 11. Further documents are very much clear that, opposite Nos. 1 & 2 not responded properly to the request of complainant either to replace new Desert Air Coolers in place of damaged Air Coolers or they have not paid the cost of the goods to the complainant. This case of the complainant and his claim neither disputed by filing written version nor by way of filing affidavit-evidence, as such there are no grounds to reject the affidavit-evidence of the complainant, accordingly we accepted it and came to conclusion that, complainant proved the deficiency in service by these opposite Nos. 1 & 2, accordingly we answered Point No-1 in affirmative. 12.
