F I N A LO R D E R

                This is an application U/s 12 of the Consumer Protection Act,1986 filed by the Petitioner, Shri Tapan Chatterjee  against the O.P., Pailan Park Development Authorities Ltd. , praying for direction upon the O.P. company to refund his outstanding amount of Rs. 30,000/- being the value of the bond together with interest and to pay compensation of Rs. 5,000/- for mental agony and harassment.

                The case of the petitioner is that he invested a sum of Rs. 22,000/- (rupees twenty two thousand) in the O.P. company and policy No. PD02221745 was issued in his favour on 31.05.2012 with the assurance that the company would pay her a matured sum of Rs. 30,000/- on 30.04.2014 .  The petitioner after expiry of the maturity date went to the O.P but the O.P. did not pay the amount which amounts to deficient on their part and then he filed this case. 

                The O.P. though served with the due notice did not appear and contested the case which is he exparte against them.

                The only point is decided here is whether the petitioner is entitled to get the relief as prayed for ?
