Bibekananda Pramanik, President – This consumer complaint under section 12 of the C.P. Act, 1986 has been filed by the complainant Shiva Dugar against the above named O.ps. alleging deficiency in service on their part.

       Complainant’s case, in brief, is as follows :-

       Complainant purchased a fixed deposit certificate of Rs.1,00,000/- from the O.ps. vide certificate no.351003232350 on 04/01/2012 and in terms of the said certificate, the complainant will get redemption value of Rs.2,61,200/- of the said certificate on 04/01/2020. After expiry of the redemption period, the complainant requested the O.p. no.1 to pay the redemption value of the certificate and he also sent a letter on 24/08/2018 to the O.ps. requesting them to pay the said amount of Rs.2,61,200/-. In spite receipt of the said letter, O.ps. did not pay the amount to the complainant. Hence the complaint praying for directing the O.ps. to pay the redemption amount of Rs.2,61,200/- with interest and for an order of compensation and cost.

       O.ps. appeared in this case and they also filed a w.v. Subsequently the O.ps. did not appear for which the case was ordered to be heard ex-parte against them. Hence the ex-parte hearing.
