Bibekananda Pramanik, President – This consumer complaint under section 12 of the C.P. Act, 1986 has been filed by the

complainant Sujit Kumar Shaw against the O.p. named above  alleging deficiency in service on the part of the O.p.

        Complainant’s case, in brief, is as follows :-

       On 07/09/2012, the complainant invested a sum of Rs.35,000/- in the Q-Shop plan-H(Plan-H) of the O.p. vide certificate no.562000514257 and the redemption value of such investment was Rs.82,250/- and the redemption dated is 07/09/2018. Due to urgent need of money, the complainant wanted to withdraw the said amount after maturity and requested the O.p. to release the said amount in favour of the complainant alongwith interest for making delay. O.p. neglected and failed to release the said amount. Hence the complaint praying for directing the O.p. to forthwith release the said amount with interest and for an order of compensation and cost.

       Notice of this case was duly served upon the O.p. but in spite of receipt of notice, O.p. did not appear to contest this case for which the case was ordered to be heard ex-parte against the O.p. Hence the ex-parte hearing.
