:    JUDGMENT & ORDER  dtd. 30.07.2019   :        

Nonpayment of the maturity amount of one fixed deposit of the depositor herein, the complainant has obliged her to lodge this complaint u/s 12 of the C.P. Act 1986 for redressal.

The brief fact of the case is that the complainant had one F.D certificate bearing  number  562 009605745 for the amount of Rs. 6,050/- with the OP No.1 for the period from 27.06.2012 to 27.06.2018, i.e., for the period of 06 years.  According to the condition of the F.D. Scheme, the complainant is entitled to get the maturity amount of Rs.14,240/-  + up to date interest as per norms of the OPs.  The complainant has made claim as per rule but no payment has been made by the OPs.  The complainant in her averment had prayed for directing the OPs to refund of Rs. 14,240/- + up to date interest as per norms of the OPs, a compensation of Rs. 5,000/- for harassment and mental agony and other reliefs.

After receiving the notice none of the OPs on behalf of the Sahara India Parivar appeared before this Forum or filed written version to contest this case.  So the case was heard ex-parte against the OPs.

On argument the Ld. Lawyer for the complainant argued that he had submitted proper demand notice but the OPs gave no reply. 

From the above discussion and as per original document which is in the record, it is clear that the complainant is entitled to get the maturity amount of Rs. 14,240/- together with up-to-date interest as per norms of the OPs.  It is the deficiency in service on the part of the OPs not to make payment of the maturity amount in time.  The complainant is not responsible for the internal disturbance of the OPs.

Hence, it is

                                                                   O R D E R E D,

That the OPs are hereby directed to refund of Rs. 14,240/-  + up-to-date interest to the complainant as per norms of the OPs within 30 days from the date of this order, failing which an interest @ 10% p.a. shall be imposed on the total amount up to the date of this order.  A compensation of Rs.2,000/- for harassment and mental agony is to be paid to the complainant by the OPs within 30 days from the date of this order.

The case be and the same is allowed ex-parte against the OPs. 

            Let a plain copy of this judgment be supplied to the parties forthwith free of cost.
