Chandigarh Dealer Ordered to Pay Compensation Over Faulty Honda Activa Speedometer
The Chandigarh District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission ordered M/s Charisma Goldwheels, Hero MotoCorp dealer, to pay Rs 10,000 compensation and refund Rs 1,175 with 9% annual interest to Mam Chand Saini. Saini had paid for a replacement speedometer for his Honda Activa, but the dealer supplied an oversized, incompatible part and demanded an additional payment without refunding the original amount. The dealer did not respond to legal notices, leading to the commission ruling against it for deficiency in service and unfair trade practice.
