The case of the complainant is that on 3/5/2014 as per receipt No.162, She has deposited Rs.70,000/- with the 1st opposite party company office at Vatanappally. It was assured that they will provide 15% interest for the deposits and the period of deposit was 12 months. The 1st opposite party paid interest only upto 2016 June. Thereafter neither any interest paid nor the deposit amount returned. The act of the opposite parties amounts to deficiency in service on their part. The complainant demanded the deposit amount. But no relief received. Hence this complaint is filed for getting relief.
2. On receiving the complaint, notice was issued to all the opposite parties. But all notices returned stating abolished and left. Hence all the opposite parties set exparte. and posted for complainant’s evidence. From the side of complainant she has appeared before the Forum and submitted proof affidavit, in which she has affirmed and explained all the averments stated in the complaint in detail. She has produced one document, which is marked as Ext.P1 fixed deposit receipt.
3. Since there is no contra evidence available before us, we are inclined to accept the proof affidavit and heard the complainant’s counsel in detail. We have gone through the contents of affidavit and perused deposit receipt produced. The Ext.P1 deposit receipts would go to show that the complainant had made deposit of Rs.70,000/-. So she is entitled to get back Rs.70,000/- from the opposite party with interest. The opposite parties committed deficiency in service as well as unfair trade practice, since the opposite parties stopped functioning of the company without giving the deposit amount. If at all there was any contra evidence for the opposite party they ought to have been appeared before the Forum and submitted their version.
4. In the result we allow this complaint and the 1st opposite party company is directed to return Rs.70,000/- (Rupees Seventy thousand only) with 15% interest from July 2016 to the complainant within one month from receiving copy of this order. Failing which the complainant is entitled to get 12% interest for all those amount till realization.
