Consumer Commissions Order Compensation in LPG, Elevator, and Cold Storage CasesPreviousNext

Consumer dispute commissions in India have ordered compensation in three cases involving service deficiencies. In Punjab, Bharat Petroleum and its distributor were directed to pay Rs 11.11 lakh to a widow after an LPG cylinder explosion killed her husband in 2018, with no negligence found. In Tamil Nadu, a lift company was ordered to repair a faulty residential elevator and pay Rs 1.25 lakh to a man whose ailing wife and mother relied on it. In Madhya Pradesh, a cold storage facility was held liable for selling a farmer's stored carrots without consent, ordered to pay Rs 31.54 lakh for the loss.
