On August 8, 1997, the complainant received a letter from the company admitting delay in the delivery of the computer and it was also mentioned that in the case of cancellation of the order, the money would be refunded. The complainant opted to cancel the order on August 8, 1997, and sought refund of the amount, along with interest. Since the amount had not been refunded to him he filed a complaint with a prayer to direct the company to refund the amount along with interest and compensation for loss of business, harassment, mental agony, embarrassment and litigation expenses. A Bench comprising Mr R.P. Bajaj, Mr H.S Walia and Ms Urvashi Agnihotri, allowed the complaint with costs of Rs 1100 and directed the company to pay the amount of Rs 47, 495 alongwith interest at the rate of 12 per cent from the date of deposit. |
