M/s K.T.C.Automobiles Pvt.Ltd., : APPELLANTS YMCA Road, Kozhikode. 2. E.R.Mridhul, Sales Consultant, KTC Automobiles Pvt.Ltd., 26/190(1)Vithuni Road, Palakkad. (By Adv.Shyam Padman) Vs. O.V.Pathrose, : RESPONDENT S/o Late O.P.Varkey, Ovungamalil House, PO Koranchira, Konnackal Kadave, Kizhakkenchery, Alathur Taluk, Palakkad. (By Adv.James.O.C) JUDGMENT JUSTICE SRI.K.R.UDAYABHANU : PRESIDENT The appellants are the opposite parties in CC.121/06 in the file of CDRF, Palakkad. The matter is with respect to an exchange scheme offered by the opposite parties, as per which an additional amount of Rs.10000/- exchange bonus was provided vide advertisement marked Ext.A5. The benefit was denied on the ground that the RC owner of the vehicle is not the same person who purchased the new car and also on the ground that the documents were not produced within the period of 60 days. It is also contended by the appellant that the scheme is that of the manufacturer and that the opposite party is only the dealer and that he can not be made liable in the absence of the manufacturer. The manufacturer has not been made a party. The records were called for. On a perusal of the records we find that as per Ext.A6 order booking form the opposite party has undertaken that the exchange bonus will be supplied within a period of two months. The same is signed by the 2nd opposite party the official of the 1st opposite party. We find that the finding of the Forum that after accepting the old vehicle and selling the new vehicle the objections raised thereafter amounts to unfair trade practice. We fully endorsed the findings of the Forum. We find that there is no merit in the appeal filed. Appeal is dismissed in limine.
