Consumer Court Orders Refund to Student Over Hostel Service Deficiencies in Greater NoidaPreviousNext

A Himachal Pradesh consumer court ordered Nalanda Living Hostel in Greater Noida to refund Rs 30,000 with 9% interest and pay Rs 10,000 in compensation and litigation costs after B Tech student Aryan Rawat vacated within a week. The student alleged poor food quality, lack of Wi-Fi, and inadequate maintenance despite advance payment for an air-conditioned room. The commission ruled this as deficiency in service under the Consumer Protection Act.
