Consumer Commissions Order Compensation in Kerala Bus Delay and Uttarakhand Pizza Cases
Two consumer commissions in India ruled in favor of customers in separate cases involving service deficiencies. In Kerala, a bus operator was ordered to pay Rs 22,000 after a passenger missed a hospital appointment due to a six-hour bus halt caused by the driver’s alleged negligence and intoxication. In Uttarakhand, a food delivery platform and restaurant were directed to pay Rs 10,520 to a customer who received a 7-inch pizza instead of the ordered 10-inch, citing unfair trade practices and compensation for harassment.
