The dispute involved between the complainants/consumers (respondents herein) and the petitioner purchaser of the seeds is regarding the grievance of the respondents that the petitioner sold defective seeds to them, as a result of which, the yield of cotton was not good, though the petitioners have established that the seeds would give a good yield. Respondents obtained the opinion of the Agricultural Department as well as Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri (MPKV for short). MPKV opined that “all the F1 plants in the field expected to express similarly amongst themselves for morphological traits. However, in all the plots visited deviation from expected expression was observed which definitely do not confirm to the hybrid characteristics/nature”. Keeping in view the report of the Agricultural Officer after spot inspection and the report of the University, the District Forum allowed the complaint, against which the petitioner preferred an appeal before the State Commission, which has been dismissed by the impugned order. In view of the unchallenged expert opinion rendered by the University, the fora below have rightly directed the petitioner to compensate the respondents for the loss suffered by them. No merits. Dismissed.
