West Bengal cops seize used car over ‘forged’ documents, buyer wins Rs 4.25 lakh payout
A vehicle owner and car dealer have been ordered to refund Rs 2.45 lakh and pay Rs 1.8 lakh towards expenses, compensation and litigation costs after a used SUV was seized by police due to forged documents. The consumer commission in West Bengal found that the dealer and vehicle owner concealed important information about the car, which led to its seizure.
The opposite parties were directed to refund the purchase price, reimburse expenses incurred by the buyer, pay compensation for mental anguish, and cover litigation costs. The car dealer and owner failed to respond to the proceedings, leading the commission to assume their acceptance of the allegations.
