AHMEDABAD: A consumer court has ordered multibrand clothing retailer Brand Factory at Shyamal Crossroads to pay compensation of Rs 1,500 to a consumer who had taken exception to sale of a carry bag worth Rs10 by the store.
The Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission, Ahmedabad (rural), last week also ordered Brand Factory to return Rs 10 to the customer, Maulin Fadia from Shahibaug, with 8% interest. Fadia had sued the store taking exception to the sale of Rs 10 carry bag. The bag was made out of colourful paper bearing names of all branches of the store.
According to case details, Fadia went shopping and purchased goods worth Rs 2,486 on May 10, 2019. As he was not carrying any bag with him to carry the clothes, the store gave him a carry bag but charged additional Rs 10 for the same. Fadia objected to the sale. Later, he dragged the issue to the consumer court claiming compensation and fine.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) was duty-bound to ensure safe and smooth commuting along the corridor, especially since it collected hefty toll from motorists, said D.B. Binu, a lawyer and the president of RTI Kerala Federation.
“Aggrieved motorists can approach the Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission in different districts. Toll-related grievances too can be taken up in such forums, since user fee is collected for the specific purpose of ensuring seamless, safe and smooth commuting on the corridor. The consumer commission now enjoys wide-ranging powers, with the new Consumer Protection Act taking effect in 2019. Complainants can cite deficiency of service, physical discomfort, mental agony and also claim litigation cost,” he said.
