Stating that a consumer forum had “gravely erred” in dismissing a complaint, the Telangana State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission observed that there was collusion between financiers and sellers of an autorickshaw and gave the buyer, an autorickshaw driver, relief and ordered compensation of ₹ 1 lakh be paid to him.
The Commission was dealing with an appeal filed by Md. Zaheeruddin. The opposite parties (OP) were Md. Ahamed (OP1), an auto consultant, businessmen Ashok Kumar Mishra (OP2) and Sudheer Kumar Mishra (OP3), the manager of Aradhyee, a financier (OP4), and Mohd Lateef (OP5).
Prior to approaching the Commission, the complaint was filed at the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum – III, Hyderabad.
