Mr. JUSTICE HULUVADI G. RAMESH, PRESIDENT

This is an appeal filed under Section 41 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 by the complainant aggrieved by the order dated 08.04.2021 passed by the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Raichur in C.C.No. 33/2020. 

2. Alleging deficiency in service on the part of the OP in not refunding the amount of Rs.1,000/-  collected in excess for blood transfusion complaint is filed before the District Commission.  The Commission held an enquiry, thereby dismissed the complaint.
3. Heard the counsel for appellant / complainant.
4. It is found from the enquiry and impugned order, after having obtained blood transfusion, 3 bills raised for the same treatment charging in total a sum of Rs.14,500/- after a lapse of 3 months that too Dr. Pranesh and Dr. V.G. Kulkarni are not the doctors who treated the complainant.  Without recording proper reason the bills said to have been raised and also without consulting the Doctor who has treated the complainant impugned order has been passed by dismissing the complaint which is not correct.  Hence, the following:

ORDER

The appeal is allowed and the matter is remanded to the District Commission to pass appropriate orders in accordance with law after hearing complainant on the grievances and also giving opportunity to the complainant to get a reply from the doctor who has treated him. 

The District Commission to dispose of the matter within three month from the date of appearance of the parties.
