In brief, the grievance of the complainant is that he had purchased one Handset of Micromax Company for a sum of Rs.10000 vide bill No. 3415 dated 28.10.2013 from respondent No.1 manufactured by respondent No.2. It is alleged that soon after purchase the Hand Set became defective within warranty period and complaint was lodged with respondents. The complainant visited the service centre of respondent company several times and requested to repair the same but it flatly refused to do the needful. The respondents did not repair the Hand Set hence the complainant is deprived of use of the Hand Set and suffered a loss. Now the complainant has claimed the replacement of the Hand Set along with compensation and costs by way of filing present complainant.
2. Despite service, respondents did not appear hence they were proceeded against ex parte vide orders dated 6.1.2015 and 5.3.2015 respectively.

4. We have heard the complainant at length.
5. Complainant has argued that Hand Set was purchased from respondent No.1 vide Annexure C1 the Photo state copy of bill. A perusal of complaint and Annexure C2 Photo stat copy of Legal Notice reveals that the Hand Set of the complainant became out of order within warranty period. The version of the complainant is supported by an affidavit. The surrounding circumstances also suggest that the Hand Set suffers from manufacturing defect for which respondents are liable. The respondents have failed to rebut the version of complainant and also failed to appear to controvert the stand taken by complainant which has been supported by an affidavit. Therefore the complaint of the complainant is accepted with costs and respondents are directed
