JUDGMENT

The  present disputes emerges out of the grievance raised in the  complaint petition filed by the above named complainant alleging deficiency in service  against  afore mentioned O.Ps for  non refund of Recurring deposit  Maturity amount of R.D. accounts  bearing No.  18515102047, and  R.D.  No. 18514203478  with accrued    interest  till realization.  The brief facts of the case are summarized here under.

That the complainant  No.1  had opened a Recurring Deposit Scheme  in Sahara  Credit  Co-operative Society  Ltd., bearing R.D. account No.   18515102047, and  R.D.  No. 18514203478  and deposited Rs.300.00  and Rs. 1,300/-per month respectively  for the period from August, 2014  to August,2017 total 36 months. The O.P. No.2  Smt. A.N.Karnimeraka  had  also deposited Rs.1,300/- per month for period from July, 2012 to  June,2017. After maturity date the complainants approached the O.Ps from time to time,  but the approaches of the complainants  became futile and not heard the grievance of  the complainant. Hence this case. The complainant prays the forum direct  the O.Ps to  refund  maturity amounts  of   above 2(two) R.D. accounts  with  accrued  interest and such other relief as the hon’ble forum deems fit and proper for the best interest  of justice.

 

On being noticed the O.Ps neither entering in to appear before the forum nor filed their  written version inspite of more than  04 adjournments has been given  to them. Complainant consequently filed his memo and prayer to set exparte of the O.Ps.  Observing lapses of around 6 months  for which the objectives  of the legislature of the C.P. Act going to be destroyed to the prejudice of the interest of the complainant.  Hence after hearing  the  counsel for the complainant set the case  exparte against the O.Ps. The action of the O.Ps is against the principles of  natural justice as envisaged  under section  13(2) (b)(ii) of the Act. Hence the O.P. set exparte  as the statutory period  for filing of  written version was over to close the case with in the time frame permitted by the C.P. Act.

 

                We therefore proceed to dispose of the case, on its merit. We perused the complaint petition and the document filed by the complainant.

         FINDINGS.

In another R.D. account No.18514203478  pass book which are marked as Annexure-I, II.   Thus, it is clear that the complainants had  paid amounts  to the OPs. After ,maturity  date  they have made several demands to repay the said maturity, but the opposite parties kept silent. Moreover, there is no denial by the opposite parties  regarding the deposits made by the complainants. As per the document  it is clear that the opposite parties collected so much amount from the public not only from the complainant and the public  and these acts of the opposite parties clearly shows their attitude and deficiency in service, hence, the opposite parties have to refunded maturity amounts to the complainants.

          The complainants with a  hope invested  amount with the opposite parties, but because of the acts of the opposite parties, the complainant deprived of to get back his matured amounts and  they have  moved  around the offices of the opposite parties and because of the acts of the opposite parties, they have  suffered financially and mentally.       To meet the ends of justice  the following order is passed.
