Consumer Forum Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, September 10 The complainant, Inder Dev Singh, a resident of Raibrali in UP, stated that on June 21, 2007, he had purchased a second hand TATA Sumo car from Ashok Kumar for Rs 1.5 lakh. Kumar had assured that a no dues certificate would be issued within a week by the Registration and Licensing Authority, Chandigarh. On June 22, 2007, the complainant went to collect the no dues certificate but he was told that Kumar had already applied for the certificate along with relevant documents and the same was to be issued to him in a few days. The complainant was handed over a copy of the RC signed by Kumar’s brother. Thereafter, the complainant got the vehicle insured with United India Insurance but the insurance policy was issued in the name of its original owner, Ashok Kumar, because at that time, the complainant was not the registered owner of the vehicle. According to the complainant, he and his son visited Kumar’s house a number of times in order to get the certificate but he refused to give it. About one-and-a-half year has elapsed but the no dues certificate has not been given to him so far. Due to non-availability of the certificate, the car has not been registered in his name. In his reply, Ashok Kumar said the complainant had purchased the vehicle for Rs 1.3 lakh and not Rs 1.5 lakh. Kumar added that the vehicle was financed by Apple Finance Ltd and he had already paid the entire amount. But before issuing the no dues certificate, the financier had closed his business. Therefore, he could not get certificate.

Sharmila clinches women's golf title
Chandigarh, September 10 The 19-year-old girl from Bangalore overcame the tough conditions to card a one over par 71 and a final three-day tally of eight over 218 leaving her nearest rival and overnight leader, Saaniya Sharma of Chandigarh, six strokes behind at 224. Saaniya began the day on a bright note birdying the first hole, but that was as far as the Chandigarh girl could go. She virtually fell by the wayside conceding five bogeys in a row from the third to the seventh. A birdie on the eighth saw her take the turn at three over 38. She was in for bigger trough on the back nine. She bogeyed the 11th, double bogeyed the 12th and dropped shots on the 13th, 14th and 18th. A birdie on the 17th saw her finish with a five over 40 back nine and a card of eight over 78. On the other hand, the teenaged hot favourite from Bangalore took control of the situation as she sank a birdie on the third and parred the remaining holes for a flawless one under 34 at the turn. Sharmila signed off with two bogeys on the back nine to outplay Saaniya Sharma by six strokes. Sharmila said: "The weather and course condition made the round very challenging for us. The putting and chipping was tough. The course is tight and tricky. After the first day's score I was behind by five shots, so I went with a positive and confident attitude on the second day. On the third day I went up by six shots." Saaniya Sharma said: "I am disappointed with my game today, but quite happy with my drive. For my approaches I don't think I did a descent job. I was not nervous at all, but I did some silly calculation mistakes. My putting and chipping was good today." Scores: 218 Sharmila Nicollet (78-69-71); 224 Saaniyal Sharma (73-73-78); 225 Neha Tripathi (78-74-73); 234 Nalini Singh Siwach (78-78-78);241 Rani Sonti (88-73-80) and Nikki Ponappa (84-79-78); 248 Pallavi Jain (84-81-83); 249 Preetinder Kaur (86-80-83) and 254 Nalini Singh (93-79-82).
