Consumer Commissions Award Compensation in Refund, Subscription, and Product Defect Cases
Consumer commissions in Hyderabad and Delhi ruled in favor of customers in three cases involving service deficiencies. A Hyderabad man was awarded Rs 8,000 after a clothing store delayed refunding a double payment for a shirt by 17 days. Another Hyderabad subscriber received Rs 9,500 after an OTT platform introduced ads during his paid ad-free subscription. In Delhi, a buyer won a replacement and Rs 2,500 compensation for defective shoes but was denied litigation costs for premature complaint filing. These rulings highlight consumer protection enforcement on service delays, unfair practices, and product defects.
