In Telangana, a wedding event firm was ordered to refund Rs 5.6 lakh plus compensation after halting services despite advance payment.

In Himachal Pradesh, a jeweller was ordered to return 32 grams of gold and pay compensation after delaying delivery and denying the transaction. These rulings emphasize consumer rights enforcement.
