Consumer Forum order: Holiday club to pay Sec-35 man Rs. 54K

                The frustration of not receiving your hard earned money back is never deserved by anyone. Yet there are businesses that will promise anything in order to receive your money hoping you compromise to minor details later, sometimes even major details. The consumer has the duty to report such infractions of contracts to the law so prevention of such irregularities can be attributed.

Legal Issues Involved:

                The consumer is always forced to delivery on a promise but that also applies to businesses. A person invests his money in a business that promises future benefits should not be disrespected after the funds have exchanged hands. There are many businesses that are extremely flexible when they are receiving money but when it comes to releasing money, it is never hassle free. The consumer forum is where complainants can explain their troubles.

Legal Stand Point:

                A contract is subject to the provisions of the Contract Act 1872 will most likely place this matter under fraud or misrepresentation; either way, the consumer was misled thus voids the contract.  A penalty is added to prevent the business from conducting such practices but if such business transactions occur repeatedly, businesses can lose their licenses and the directors may even be jailed.

                Indian consumers are rising to fight for their right, very little people are worried of the police being compromised with these shady businessmen. Why such businessmen mistreat customers is unknown but the courts are always willing to bring such unethical behaviour to a stand point.

                A similar matter happened where a fitness club was also ordered to return money to a customer for misrepresentation of a benefitial offer.
