Mr R.L Aggarwal had got justice after a struggle of three years, but despite getting things done in the state commission, the order was not complied with by the authorities. Ultimately, he had to file a complaint under Section 27 of the Consumer Protection Act in the forum for non-compliance of the order.

Mr R.L. Aggarwal had parked his scooter in the parking at city railway station and was overcharged by the parking contractor. After that he had filed a complaint to the railway authorities and the contractor was fined Rs 5,00 but no relief was given to the consumer. Then, Mr Aggarwal decided to move to the District Consumer Dispute Redressal Forum but unfortunately, the forum dismissed the case on October 21, 1998, stating that “Overcharged amount was too trivial to be taken note of.” But Mr Aggarwal did not lose heart and appealed in the state consumer commission. But despite getting justice in the state commission, he is still waiting for the enforcement of the order.
