First respondent was the complainant before the District forum and the second respondent is the dealer of the vehicle. complaint was that the purchase of the vehicle by the complainant was on representation that it will run 24 kilometres in one litre of petrol. this was not to be so. It could run only for 12 kilometres. Complainant thus alleged deficiency in service. Complainant went to district Forum praying for refund of the amount of Rs. 67,320/- being price of the auto. After considering the whole aspect of the matter, District Forum allowed the complaint and directed refund of the amount of Rs. 67,320/- along with interest @ 18% per annum from the date of purchase of vehicle till realisation.
