UNIKRISHNAN Vs. PROMPT INDIA

JUDGEMENT

(1.) -THIS is a revision petition arising out of the decision of Kerala State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. The complainant has filed a complaint stating that the respondent had indulged in unfair trade practice in over-charing him for Paramount Brand Expeller manufactured by Sharda Industries, Ghaziabad. It is pointed out that the machine was sold to the complainant after allowing 20% rebate on the price and the dealer's commission of Rs. 1,693. 40 has been charged in consideration of his rendering 'after service' during warranty period.

(2.) THE District Forum, however, disallowed this ground for charging dealer's commission and ordered refund thereof.

(3.) ON appeal, the Appellate Court reversed the order of the District Forum and found adequate justification for Rs. 1,693. 40 on account of after sale service being charged during the period of warranty. It has also noticed that the dealer's commission amounting to Rs. 7,760 was duly offered to the consumer/complainant.
