Indian Consumer Commissions Award Compensation in Service Deficiency Cases
Three consumer disputes in India highlight issues of deficient services and unfair trade practices. In Kerala, a daily wage worker was awarded over Rs 66,000 after a bike mechanic's faulty repair caused engine problems. In Punjab, a car dealer was ordered to refund over Rs 7 lakh plus compensation for selling a used test-drive car as new. In Chandigarh, a salon was directed to pay Rs 50,000 for a defective haircut that caused distress and loss of appearance. Consumer commissions upheld these rulings citing service deficiencies and unfair practices.
