(1.) THE Ganpati College of Engineering District Yamuna Nagar, Haryana has filed four different revision petitions against the concurrent orders of the District Consumer Forum, Yamuna Nagar and State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Haryana. THE Complainants were four students, who had taken admission in B. Tech. courses of this College, paid the requisite fees and subsequently sought refund thereof.
(2.) TWO of the Complainants namely, Vijeta, daughter of Mahima Singh (RP 347 of 2012) and Shivani daughter of Mahima Singh (RP 350 of 2012) had impleaded the Director, Technical Education Haryana also as OP-2.
