          The case of the complainant is that she had joined in a scheme conducted by the opposite parties.  The plot registration No. is U145489106 and it was started on 12/11/2008.  As per the scheme the complainant has remitted Rs.480/- every month and after the end of the scheme the complainant will receive an amount remitted plus bonus.  The complainant has remitted an amount of Rs.31,680/- with the opposite parties.  The complainant had remitted the entire instalments without making any default and submitted all the documents with 2^nd opposite party on 21/5/2014.  Even after  the repeated demands, the opposite parties have not paid any amount so far.  The act of the opposite parties amounts to deficiency in service.  Hence the complainant filed this complaint for getting the remitted amount plus bonus with 12% interest from the date of 21/5/2014.

          2.  On receiving the notice of the complaint, the opposite parties were continuously absent and name called.  The opposite parties were absent, so set exparte.

          3. When the case is posted for complainant’s evidence, the complainant filed affidavit and two documents produced which are marked as Exts.P1 and P2.  Ext.P1 is the acknowledgement for receiving the scheme documents from the complainant and Ext.P2 series are the receipts for making payment.  From these two documents and affidavit of the complainant,  we  could believe the words of complainant and also found the deficiency of service on the part of opposite parties without returning the remitted amount as well as the offered amount.  There is no contra evidence adduced by opposite parties.

          4. In the result, the complaint is allowed and the opposite parties are directed to pay Rs.31,680/- (Rupees Thirty one thousand six hundred and eighty only) to the complainant with 12% interest from the date of 21/5/2014 till realization and Rs.5,000/- (Rupees Five thousand only) as cost and compensation  within one month from the date of receipt of copy of this order.
