This is a complaint made by Smt. Sonali Maji against the Branch Manager and Managing Director of GREENAGE FOOD PRODUCTS LTD., praying for a direction upon the OPs to return the deposited value of Rs.55000/- along with interest @ 10% from 29.07.2016 till realization, and compensation for a sum of Rs.30000/- and litigation cost of Rs.10000/-.
In short, case of the Complainant, is that, she invested a sum of Rs.500/- per month as recurring deposit with the OP No. 2 through OP No. 1 for 5 years being Certificate No. GFPL/003/23447/11-12/102479. The maturity value of the said deposit was Rs.55000/-which matured on 29.07.2016. On maturity, Complainant demanded the matured amount from the OPs and submitted all relevant documents to facilitate this. However, OPs have not settled her claim hence, this case.
None of the OPs appeared to contest the case in spite of receiving summons so the case is heard ex-parte against OPs.
