JUDGMENT

JUSTICE SHRI. K.R. UDAYABHANU:  PRESIDENT

The appellants are the opposite parties in CC.143/2010 in the file of CDRF, Wayanadu, Kalpetta.  The appellants are under orders to return the deposit amount of Rs.6,000/- with interest at 12% from the date of deposit and cost of Rs.2000/-.

2.      It is the case of the complainant that he deposited Rs.6000/- with the opposite party on the assurance that the amount would be doubled within 100 weeks on 30/3/2010, when he approached for withdrawal the amount was not refunded.

3.      The opposite parties have contended that the promise was only to purchase lottery tickets and provide magazines.

4.      The evidence adduced consisted of the testimony of PW1, Exts.A1 to A3.

5.      The Forum has relied on the brochure provided in the opposite parties which contained the assurance.  PW1 has testified and proved Exts.A1 to A3 ie the receipts and brochure.  We find that there is no patent illegality in the order of the Forum.  There is no scope for admitting the appeal.  Hence the appeal is dismissed in-limine.
