At the outset, learned Counsel appearing for the Petitioner, the manufacturer of the subject car, submits that having regard to the quantum of the compensation directed to be paid to the Complainant, in order to avoid any inconvenience to the Complainant to defend the case, the Petitioner would be satisfied if the following observations in the impugned order are deleted, while maintaining the amounts awarded in favour of the Complainant : “In our considered view, a new car costing more than 13 lakhs presenting so many problems immediately after purchase is an evidence of some imperfection in the car at the stage of its assembly and use of poor quality of parts by OP1, and inability of OP2, to repair such inherent defects which creeped in at manufacturing stage. We are of the view that an imperfect car was brought to market without proper quality check of OP1 factory.” According to the learned Counsel, the afore-extracted general observations made by the Fora below in the absence of cogent evidence in this behalf, tend to affect the reputation of the Petitioner in the market that it does not maintain proper standards at the time of Pre Delivery Inspection (PDI) and hence, the same deserve to be deleted. In view of the submission, I feel that since the Petitioner is willing to pay to the Complainant the amounts awarded to him, it is not worthwhile to issue notice to the Complainant, as it would cause unnecessary harassment to him. Accordingly, while dismissing the Revision Petition, the observations made in the impugned order, to the effect that “imperfection in the car at the stage of assembly and use of poor quality of parts by OP1” and “an imperfect car was brought to market without proper quality check of OP1 factory” are deleted. The Revision Petition stands disposed of in the above terms. |
