Mumbai Consumer Court Orders Flipkart, Seller to Refund Over Rs 1.8 Lakh for Wrong Delivery
A Mumbai consumer court ordered Flipkart and seller International Value Retail Pvt Ltd to refund over Rs 1.11 lakh and pay Rs 70,000 in compensation after a customer received beard growth oil instead of the Apple iPhone 14 Pro he ordered. The court found repeated complaint closures without resolution constituted unfair trade practices and held both parties jointly liable for service deficiencies. The customer had paid online and reported the issue promptly, but no effective redress was provided until the court ruling.
