ORDER

By Pushvinder  Singh, President

                        

                  Sh. Suresh Kumar Goyal , Joint Director of PEDA i.e Op no.2  appeared in the Commission and he has stated that entire money of  subsidy of Solar system has already been deposited in the account of the complainant.  The complainant has also made a statement that  PEDA has deposited an amount  of Rs.51,975/-  in his bank account bearing no. 15770100007272 of  UCO Bank as subsidy  of Solar  System.

2           This complaint  was filed by the complainant for directing OPs to pay subsidy of Rs.45,000/-  on Solar System.  The subsidy has already been paid  by the PEDA to the complainant, so relief  claimed  by the complainant of subsidy  has been satisfied . The complainant has claimed Rs.50,000 /- as  compensation  for harassment and mental agony  and   Rs.10,000/- for  litigation  expenses.

                  Sh Suresh Kumar Goyal , Joint Director of PEDA has stated that  they have paid the subsidy amount  to the complainant as and when received from  the Government and  when   request  received from the OP no. 1. Ld. counsel for the opposite party no.1  requested that  the amount of subsidy was to be paid by the PEDA and OP no.1 was not liable to pay the  subsidy amount  to the complainant . Previously the complaint was filed by  the complainant against OP no.1 only and  OP no.1 had appeared in this commission  and filed an application for impleading PEDA as party, which was allowed by this Commission. Notice was issued to PEDA and  payment of  subsidy was  made by PEDA to the complainant after  issuing  notice to PEDA. all the circumstances of the present complaint, we find that  when  the complainant did  not receive the subsidy  then  he was  forced to file  the present complaint and OP no.1  who installed the Solar system  should have  assisted the complainant  for early  release of subsidy . So the OP n o.1  should pay a sum of Rs.10,000/-  to the complainant as compensation  and costs of litigation expenses.  Accordingly the complaint is allowed partly to the extent that OP no.1 will  pay Rs.10,000/-  to the complainant within 30 days. File be consigned to record room.  Certified copy of the order be supplied to the complainant and the OPs through registered post as per rules.  File be indexed and consigned to record room.
