The complainant stated that being convinced by the representative of the O.P and the
complainant agreed to deposit money in the ‘SAHARA Q SHOP UNIQUE PRODUCTS RANGE LTD as Sahara Q SHOP Unique Scheme. The complainant invested Rs. 10,000/- for Sahara Q Shop Scheme.
The opposite Party issued the certificate being No. and membership No.562009607451 dated15.11.2012.
The opposite party issued said certificate. Even after maturity of the said scheme the complainant went to the office of the opposite parties for realizing and/ or collecting the matured amount but the opposite parties were neglected and refused to refund the matured amount in spite of several demands by the complainant. Hence the complainant filed this case for direction to the O.P. Nos. 1,2 and 3 to pay the matured value of the said scheme and other reliefs.
O.P. Nos. 1,2 and 3 did not contest the case by filing written version after receiving the notice.
Ld. Advocate for O.P. No.4 appeared and submitted that there was no allegation against O.P. No.4 therefore there is no case against O.P. No.4.

No.4 and evidence of the complainant and documents filed we find that the complainant had deposited the amount as stated by the complainant and the O.P. Nos. 1 to 3 after maturity of the certificate failed and neglected to pay the matured value. The O.P. Nos. 1 to 3 did not controvert the
