                                                            JUDGEMENT. 

The  crux of the case is that  the above named complainant alleging deficiency in service  against  afore mentioned O.Ps    for  non  refund of  advance amount a sum of Rs.25,500/-  for which  the complainant   sought for redressal of the grievances raised by the complainant.

On being noticed  the O.Ps  neither entering in to appear before the District Commission  nor filed their  written version inspite of more than  5 adjournments has been given  to them. Complainant consequently filed his memo and prayer to set exparte of the O.Ps.  Observing lapses of around 7 (Seven) 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  from the complainant set the case  exparte against the O.Ps. The action of the O.Ps  are against the principles of  natural justice as envisaged  in C.P. Act. Hence the O.Ps.   were  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.

 

            From this  it is evident  that  the O.P. has failed  to fulfil  his commitment  to the complainant. This  amounts  to  breach  of  agreement on his part, where as the complainant  on his part  has discharged  his duty  by    transmitted an amount of total  Rs.25,500/- to the bank  account of the  O.P   on Dt. 24.7.2020 bearing  Google transaction ID CICAgKDZu- HIMw  for  beginning  seeds purchase and sale   business  at  Rayagada  area of  Odisha for livelihood of the complainant.

            It  is held and reported  in C.P.R.-1993 (1) page No. 420   The Hon’ble  West Bengal  State C.D.R. Commission, where  in  observed   “When one  not perform  his part of contract it amounts  to deficiency in service.”.  In the light  of this ruling  we hold that the  O.P. has not performed   his part of the contract by not  sending   the seeds  or appointment of  dealership  to the complainant  after  receipt of  the consideration  from the complainant.

            To meet the ends of  justice  the following order is passed.

 

                                                            ORDER.

The  O.P. is   directed  to refund  the deposited   amount  a sum of Rs.25,500/- to the complainant immediately along with  up to date  interest @ Rs. 9% per annum  from the  date of deposit  till  realization.

 

The O.Ps are directed to pay the aforesaid amount to the complainants with in 30 days.

 

A Copy of  this orders  as per the statutory    requirements, be supplied      to the parties  free of charge.

Dictated and corrected  by me  on Dt.11th. Day of   November, 2021.
