Indian Consumer Commissions Award Compensation for Defective Smartphone and Motorcycle
Two consumer commissions in India ruled in favor of buyers facing product defects. In Barnala, a man was awarded Rs 1.77 lakh after his premium foldable smartphone developed repeated issues within 15 months despite repairs. Separately, a Delhi commission ordered a motorcycle manufacturer and service center to pay Rs 1 lakh compensation to a man whose bike lost power at high altitude during a trip, causing physical and mental distress. Both rulings cited deficiencies in service and product performance.
