Consumer Commissions Order Refunds in Makeup and Gold Chain Service Disputes
Two consumer dispute cases highlight service deficiencies in India. In Gurugram, a woman was awarded nearly Rs 3 lakh after makeup artists failed to provide bridal services during the Covid-19 second wave and denied a refund. Separately, in Himachal Pradesh, a jeweller was ordered to pay Rs 1.3 lakh to a man who paid Rs 1 lakh advance for a gold chain that was neither delivered nor refunded. Both commissions upheld consumer rights and ordered compensation.
