The OP No.1 did not pay the EMI of the finance company. Due to non-payment of EMI the finance company forcefully seized  the said vehicle  on 14.05.2023 from the complainant. The complainant  informed the said  matter to the  OP No.1 and requested  him to return  the money of Rs.70,000/-.  OP No.1 assured  the complainant  that he would return  the said amount of Rs.70,000/- immediately. But   the OP No.1 did not pay the said amount despite  several requests. The complainant  is a helper of a mason. Due to said seizure  the complainant  is unable to perform  his duty for  which he has suffered loss of Rs.1,00,000/-. Subsequently,  the complainant sent a legal  notice through  his advocate  on 05.02.2024 and 10.02.2024. Despite  several requests  and receipt of the advocate’s letter the OP did not return  the said money. So, the present  case is filed. The cause of action arose on 14.05.2023 and on subsequent dates.  The complainant , therefore,  prayed for an  award  for Rs.70,000/- towards  total money  paid together with interest @12% p.a , Rs.1,50,000/- for harassment  and loss and damages  and litigation cost.

 The notice of this case was  served upon the OP No.1. On the basis  of the order no.3 dated 07.05.2024 the case is  decided to be heard ex-parte  against OP No.1& Pro-OP No.2.
