Implementation of property tax Fail to attend meeting convened at the Municipal Corporation office by Director, Local Bodies Deepkamal Kaur Tribune News Service
Jalandhar, February 12 While the rest had their nominees, MLA Jalandhar West-cum-Local Bodies Minister Bhagat Chunni Lal and MLA Jalandhar Cantonment Pargat Singh did not even pay a heed to send any of their representatives. Just four objections were put up in the meeting, which lasted for nearly half an hour. Senior Deputy Mayor Kamaljit Bhatia raised the objection that Basti Gujan had been included in Zone D along with posh colonies, including Defence Colony and Urban Estates. “How can you compare a colony with mud houses with that of such planned colonies?” he asked. Bhagwant Prabhakar, a councillor representing MLA KD Bhandari, said the imposition of the tax would be much of a problem for industrialists owning huge sheds in the city. The zoning committee members also raised objection to slabs of collector rate set for zoning. They claimed that the rates of none of the colonies in the city were beyond 18 lakh and the slabs should be revised again. Bharti said the zoning details would be given out as a public notice in a day or two. “Objections would be called in for a month. After this, valid objections will be removed and a meeting to decide unit sq metre area for each zone would be convened by respective DCs. The process should be completed by mid-April,” he said.

Consumer forum tells Micromax to refund price of faulty mobile phone
Jalandhar, February 12 The forum president, Jaspal Singh Bhatia, its members Jyotsna Thatai and Darshan Singh, also directed the mobile phone company to pay Rs 1,000 to the complainant, Vinay Khullar of Shaheed Bhagat Singh Colony, as compesation and litigation expenses, besides refunding the price of the mobile phone, that is Rs 5,000, within 15 days of receiving the copy of the order. The forum observed in its order that the complainant purchased the mobile handset from the opposite party No 1, ie Jagdambay Mobile House on Jail Road, for Rs 5,000 having invoice dated January 3, 2012. The version of the complainant is that soon after the purchase of the handset it started giving problem and he approached Micromax Service Centre, ie opposite party No 2, for rectifying the problem, but to no avail. The counsel for the opposite party No 3, ie Micromax Informatics Limited of New Delhi, contended that it was ready to replace the set. The opposite party No 3 is manufacturer of the mobile phone handset. The counsel for the complainant contended that the complainant had already purchased a new handset and was not interested in the replacement of the handset. “From the affidavit of the complainant, we are satisfied that the mobile phone handset purchased by the complainant from opposite party No 1 was defective. Consequently the complaint is accepted and opposite parties No 2 and 3 are directed to refund the price of the mobile phone handset, ie Rs 5,000, to the complainant within 15 days from the date of receipt of copy of this order after receiving the old mobile phone set from the complainant,” the forum stated in its order. In his complaint, filed under Section 12 of the Consumer Protection Act on January 13 last year, Vinay Khullar of Shaheed Bhagat Singh Colony alleged that he had purchased a mobile phone handset, Micromax A60 (IMET No 910556000267898) from Jagdambay Mobile House, opposite party No 1, which gave 12 months warranty on it. Just after one day from the date of the purchase of the mobile phone, its battery started giving problem and he immediately approached the service centre, where after a minor repair the handset was returned to him. On January 5, 2012, that is the next day from the repair of the battery, the hardware processing of the mobile phone handset failed. He approached opposite party No 2, where he was directed to approach opposite party No 1 for replacement of the defective mobile phone handset, he stated in his complaint. On the same day he approached the opposite party No 1 for the replacement of the defective mobile handset, but the opposite party flatly refused to do the same and told him to go to service centre for repair of the defective mobile phone. The opposite party No 2 told the opposite party No 1 about the defect and then the opposite party No 1 contacted its distributor in Ludhiana regarding the matter of defective mobile phone handset and agreed to change the same against further payment of Rs 1,000. On his refusal to pay more, the opposite party No 1 misbehaved, used filthy language and threatened him of dire consequences and in this regard he complained to the SHO of the Division No 2 police station. The handset is lying with him because the same is not working and is a dead hand set. This had tantamount to unfair trade practice and amounted to negligence and deficiency in service. Vinay Khullar had prayed for refund of the price of the handset and also demanded compensation and payment of the litigation expenses.
