1. Pleadings of the complainant in brief
The complainant booked online for an OLA S1 Air Electric Scooter, manufactured by the opposite party by paying Rs 999/- on 24.10.2022. At the time of booking the Ex-show room price of the vehicle was quoted as Rs 79,999/-. Subsequently the opposite party informed that the company has upgraded the vehicle configuration from 2.5KWh to 3KWh without any increase in price.
When the purchase window opened, the company escalated the price to Rs 1,09,999/- from the Rs 79,999/- offered at the time of booking without giving any reason. Aggrieved by this unfair trade practice of the opposite party, the complainant approached this Commission seeking a relief of Rs 50,000/-.
2. Notice was served to the opposite party on 11/9/2023. Though they entered appearance they failed to file their version within the statutory period, hence was set ex-parte.
3. The complainant has been continuously absent for the proceedings since beginning. He did not file proof affidavit or mark any documents as evidence. Hence the case was taken for orders based on merits.
4. From the continuous absence of the complainant it is evident that he is not at all interested in proceeding with the case and he has failed to prove his pleading by way of evidence.
5. In the result, the complaint is dismissed.
Pronounced in open court on this the 22nd day of December, 2023.
