Brief facts of the case:- On 06/04/2014 complainant had ordered 5 nos. of Koutons mens jeans of 34 inches for Rs.1,199/- through online from opposite party. On 22/07/2014 the complainant got consignment through VPP. But the delivered jeans were of different in size. So he informed the matter to opposite party through e-mail and they instructed to send it back. As per the instructions, complainant sent it back through post office parcel service on 24/07/2014. Opposite party received the parcel on 30/07/2014. But till this date opposite party did not send the item ordered. Complainant submitted that the act of opposite party amounts to deficiency in service. Hence the complaint. Complainant prays for a direction to deliver the ordered item or to get back the cost of jeans of Rs.1,199/- along with Rs.30,000/-(Rupees Thirty thousand only) as compensation for mental agony and other expenditure.
Complaint was admitted and issued notice to opposite party. After the receiving of notice, opposite party did not appear before the forum. Hence set exparte.
Complainant filed his affidavit and Ext.A1 to A11 marked.
Issues are to be considered.
1. Whether there is any deficiency in service from the part of opposite party?
2. If so what is the reliefs and cost?
ISSUES 1 & 2
Heard the complaint: - We have perused the documents on records. After perusing the documents we are of the opinion that the complainant had booked the 5 Koutons mens denim jeans for Rs.1,199/- on 06/04/2014. As per Ext.A6 the opposite party acknowledges the receipt of faulty item. But till this date the ordered item did not send to complainant. Non delivery of ordered item amounts to deficiency in service. No other evidence to the contrary.
In the result complaint is partly allowed. Opposite party is directed to pay Rs.1,199/-(Rupees One Thousand one hundred ninety nine only) as cost of the ordered item, Rs.5,000/- (Rupees Five Thousand only) as compensation for mental agony and Rs.1,000/-(Rupees One Thousand only) as cost of proceedings.
