M.S. 722 K.Anaipatti Milk Producer <\/p>\n<p>Cooperative Society <\/p>\n<p>through its secretary <\/p>\n<p>K. Anaipatti Post, Vedasandar Taluk <\/p>\n<p>Dindigul District Respondents<br \/>\n\/ Complainants  <\/p>\n<p>The Respondents as complainants<br \/>\nfiled a complaint before the District Forum against the Appellant \/ opposite<br \/>\nparty praying for the direction to the opposite parties to refund the matured<br \/>\nvalue of 3 bonds with interest and to pay Rs.35000\/- as compensation. The<br \/>\nDistrict Forum partly allowed the complaint. Against the said order, this<br \/>\nappeal is preferred praying to set aside the order of the District Forum dt.13.11.2006<br \/>\nin O.P.No.17\/2006.\n<\/p>\n<p> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p> This appeal<br \/>\ncoming before us for hearing finally on 16.8.2010. Upon hearing the arguments of the counsels on<br \/>\neither side, this commission made the following order:\n<\/p>\n<p> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Counsel<br \/>\nfor the Appellant\/ Opposite party: M\/s. P.\n<\/p>\n<p>Natarajan, Advocate <\/p>\n<p>Counsel<br \/>\nfor the Respondents\/ Complainants: Mr.S. Kalimuthu, Advocate <\/p>\n<p> M. THANIKACHALAM J,<br \/>\nPRESIDENT  <\/p>\n<p> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>1. The opposite parties are the appellants.\n<\/p>\n<p>2. The complainants\/ respondents 1 and 2,<br \/>\nhad purchased three Kissan Vikas Patra<br \/>\n(KVP), for a total sum of Rs.25000\/-, from the opposite party post office. When the complainant made requisition, after<br \/>\nthe maturity period of 5 years over, they were informed, that the amount will<br \/>\nbe paid without interest, since the certificates were issued, in the name of<br \/>\nthe society, against the rules. Despite request, till date the amount has not<br \/>\nbeen refunded, and the failure to refund the matured value of the bonds, tantamount<br \/>\nto deficiency in service. The opposite<br \/>\nparties cannot take advantage of their fault, denying interest. The refusal to pay the deposit amount,<br \/>\nalongwith interest should be construed as deficiency of service. Hence the<br \/>\ncomplainant is entitled to, not only for the recovery of Rs.50000\/- with<br \/>\ninterest thereon, but also for a sum of Rs.35000\/- as compensation for mental<br \/>\nagony.\n<\/p>\n<p> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>3. The opposite party, accepting the<br \/>\npurchase of Kissan Vikas Patras (KVP), would contend, that the investments by<br \/>\nthe complainants, in the KVPs were irregular, against the order of the<br \/>\nGovernment of India, that when the opposite parties have implemented rules<br \/>\nframed by Government of India, thereby denying interest, cannot be construed as<br \/>\ndeficiency in service, and that though the complainant has been requested to<br \/>\nencash the amount without interest, they failed to do so, which cannot be<br \/>\ntermed as deficiency, as per the dictum of the Supreme Court, thereby praying<br \/>\nfor the dismissal of the complaint.\n<\/p>\n<p> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>4. The District Forum, despite objections<br \/>\nraised by the opposite party, ruled that the complainants, are entitled to<br \/>\ninterest @6% p.a., from the date of respective purchases of KVPs, placing<br \/>\nreliance upon certain decisions, thereby directing the opposite party to pay a<br \/>\nsum of Rs.50000\/- with interest, alongwith cost, denying other reliefs, as per<br \/>\norder d.13.11.2006, which is under challenge.\n<\/p>\n<p> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>5. Heard the learned counsel for appellant,<br \/>\nas well as the respondent, perused the written submissions, lower court records<br \/>\nand also the order passed by the District Forum.\n<\/p>\n<p> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>6. It was urged on behalf of the appellant,<br \/>\nthat as per the rules framed for KVPs, which came into effect from 1.4.95, this<br \/>\nkind of security could be acquired only by   <\/p>\n<p>(i)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br \/>\nAn adult for himself or on<br \/>\nbehalf of a minor or to a minor <\/p>\n<p>(ii)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<br \/>\na trust <\/p>\n<p> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>whereas, the<br \/>\nsociety had purchased three KVPs in this case, which is against the rules, and<br \/>\ntherefore as such they are not entitled to claim interest, since their<br \/>\npossession of KVPs were irregular, which was not properly considered by the<br \/>\nDistrict Forum, which was opposed.\n<\/p>\n<p> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>7. Admittedly, as seen from Ex.A1 series,<br \/>\nthe complainant society had acquired three KVPs, for a total paid value of<br \/>\nRs.25000\/-, having the maturity value of Rs.50000\/-, as per the dates mentioned<br \/>\ntherein. After the maturity period, when<br \/>\nthe complainants had approached the opposite party, they refused to pay<br \/>\ninterest, conceding to give only the principal, which was not acceptable to the<br \/>\ncomplainants, resulting this complaint, as if the opposite party had committed<br \/>\ndeficiency.\n<\/p>\n<p> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>8. The jurisdiction of the consumer forum<br \/>\nwill come into operation, if there was a case of deficiency in service, either<br \/>\nin terms of the law, or in terms of the contract, as held by the Apex court in Post Master, Dargamitta H.P.O., Nellore Vs.<br \/>\nRaja Prameelamma, reported in (MS)<br \/>\n(1998) 9 SCC 706. On the other hand,<br \/>\nif the staff of the opposite party had inadvertently sold Kissan Vikas Patra to<br \/>\nthe complainant, and the complainant without knowing the position, whether they<br \/>\ncould aquire this kind of KVPs, had acquired, then the non-payment of interest,<br \/>\nas per the rules, cannot be termed as deficiency in service. In this context, we have to see, the position<br \/>\nof the complainant, and who are all entitled to hold KVPs, as per rules.\n<\/p>\n<p> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>9. Admittedly, the complainant is a cooperative<br \/>\nsociety, not a trust, or an adult. As<br \/>\nper KVP rules 1988, as amended in the year 1995, which came into effect from 1st<br \/>\nApril 1995, this kind of certificate can be issued only to a adult for himself<br \/>\nor on behalf of a minor or to a minor trust.\n<\/p>\n<p>The complainant is not coming within the above definition of a<br \/>\nholder. The certificates were purchased<br \/>\nin 1998, i.e., after amendment. Thus it<br \/>\nis seen, as rightly submitted by the learned counsel for opposite party, that<br \/>\nthe complainant was not a valid holder of KVPs.<br \/>\nThus, a further submission was made, that the complainants are not<br \/>\nentitled to the interest, even from the date of purchase of the Kisan Vikas<br \/>\nPatras, and if at all they are entitled to only the amount actually paid, viz. Rs.25000\/-. Though the arguments appears to be<br \/>\nreasonable, on the face value, based upon the above amendments, considering<br \/>\nother rules, as well as the decision rendered by the National Commission, we<br \/>\nare of the view that the complainant may be given interest, for the amount invested,<br \/>\nthough not as agreed under the KVPs, but a reasonable interest @6% p.a., from<br \/>\nthe date of deposit, and we record our reasons hereunder, irrespective of the<br \/>\nfact, whether there was deficiency or not, instead of driving the parties for<br \/>\nanother litigation..\n<\/p>\n<p> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>10. The learned counsel for appellant, in order<br \/>\nto negative the claim of interest, invited our attention to the decision<br \/>\nrendered by the State Commission of Gujarat, at Ahmedabad, in Special Civil<br \/>\nApplication No.2877\/2003, dt.14.7.2004, wherein, rules relating to KVPs were<br \/>\nconsidered by the learned judge, who came to the conclusion, that the purchaser<br \/>\nof the KVP is not entitled to claim interest.\n<\/p>\n<p>We have gone through the judgement, very carefully, and given our<br \/>\nanxious thought also. But, considering<br \/>\nRule 13, we are of the view, that a simple interest can be allowed, though<br \/>\nauthorization is required, from the Central Government. Rule 13, Proviso provided that <\/p>\n<p> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>where the Central Government is satisfied that<br \/>\nsuch purchase or acquisition of certificates is due to a bonafide error on the<br \/>\npat of the holder thereof, it may authorize payment of simple interest on the<br \/>\nface value of the certificate at the same rate as is admissible for the time<br \/>\nbeing in force for the type of saving accounts in the post office savings bank<br \/>\nwith which such holder is entitled to open under the provisions of the Post<br \/>\nOffice Savings Account Rules, 1981.\n<\/p>\n<p> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To claim benefit under the above said<br \/>\nprovision,as held in the above decision it is not necessary, that the holding<br \/>\nof Kisan Vikas Patras must be, regular.\n<\/p>\n<p>The heading for Rule 13 itself reds Excess or irregular holdings , thereby, indicating even, for a person having irregular holdings, is<br \/>\nentitled to claim interest, provided they have acquired the certificates<br \/>\nbonofidely. If the certificate was<br \/>\npossessed by the holder on regular basis, then automatically he will be<br \/>\nentitled to the interest, for which they need not depend upon this<br \/>\nproviso. Thus, based upon the proviso,<br \/>\nwe are inclined to concede the interest claimed, by the complainant, though not<br \/>\nto the entire extent.\n<\/p>\n<p> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>11. In the Chief Post Master, Chennai &amp;<br \/>\nAnother Vs. M\/s. Sun Beam Courier Pvt. Ltd., the National Commission had an<br \/>\noccasion to consider the issuance of National Saving Certificate, contrary to<br \/>\nRule 4 of NSC Rules 1989, wherein the District Forum had allowed 9% interest,<br \/>\nalongwith maturity amount. In this case,<br \/>\na Supreme Court ruling was referred, and based upon the earlier direction,<br \/>\nwhich was in pursuance, to the instruction from the Finance Ministry, taking<br \/>\nthe same as precedent, a direction has been issued, to pay interest on the face<br \/>\nvalue of the deposit amount, at 6% p.a., from the date of deposit, till<br \/>\nrealization. We feel in this case also,<br \/>\nthe above policy could be adopted, considering the fact that the complainant<br \/>\ncould have acquired the Kisan Vikas Patras under bonofide error, and the<br \/>\nfurther fact being, the opposite party had the benefit of the amount for all<br \/>\nthese years. By reading the above<br \/>\nruling, and proviso to Rule 13, we justify in awarding interest, at 6% p.a.,<br \/>\nfrom the date of deposit, till realization, on the face value of the<br \/>\ndeposit. For these reasons, the order of<br \/>\nthe District Forum has to be modified, since the complainant was not competent,<br \/>\nto acquire KVPs as per rules, as well not entitled to claim interest as of<br \/>\nright, including the matured amount, as mentioned there in.\n<\/p>\n<p> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>12. In<br \/>\nthe result, the appeal is allowed in part, modifying the order of the District<br \/>\nForum in O.P.No.17\/2006 dt.13.11.2006, directing the opposite party to pay<br \/>\nRs.25000\/-, alongwith interest @ 6% p.a., from the respective dates of purchase<br \/>\nof Kisan Vikas Patras, on the face value of the deposited amount, till<br \/>\nrealization. Time for payment two<br \/>\nmonths, failing which the complainant is at liberty to invoke Sec.25 or 27 of<br \/>\nConsumer Protection Act. There will be no order as to cost throughout.\n<\/p>\n<p> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p> \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>S.SAMBANDAM VASUGI<br \/>\nRAMANAN M.
