When the value of this gas cylinder is very high he surrendered the said connection but the opposite parties informed him that only ` 2500/ - will be refunded . Hence the complaint praying for an order against opposite parties for the refund of deposited amount with compensation.
2. Notice issued to opposite parties served but not represented. Hence the name of opposite parties called absent and set exparte.

During evidence, PW1 deposed that he deposited ` 5750/- at the time of availing gas connection. He further stated that the rate of gas cylinder is very excessive so he discontinued the connection and also he surrendered the gas cylinder and regulator to opposite party No.1and they issued surrender certificate to him..
