This is a complaint made by Smt. Rita Gayen against the Branch Manager and Managing Director of LRN FINANCE LTD., praying for a direction upon the OPs to return the redemption value of Debentures of Rs.100000/- along with interest @ 10% from 09.08.2015 till realization, and compensation of Rs.100000/- with litigation cost of Rs.10000/-.

In short, case of the Complainant, is that, she invested a sum of Rs.100000/-, as Debentures on 10.08.2013 with the OP No. 2 through OP No. 1 for being Certificate No. 00228879. The date of redemption of the above Debentures was 09.08.2015. On maturity, Complainant demanded the Debenture values from the OP 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.

Point to be considered in this case is whether or not the Complainant is entitled to the relief(s) sought for by her.
