Man wins Rs 17.62 lakh as Covid derails plans for daughter’s wedding at 5-star Delhi hotel
A man from Delhi has been awarded Rs 17.62 lakh by the Delhi State Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission after his plans for his daughter's wedding were derailed by Covid-19. The court upheld the order, stating that the hotel had not honored the man's request to postpone the event due to the pandemic. The hotel had promised to postpone the wedding in case of government restrictions, but failed to do so.
The man alleges that the hotel sold the wedding venue to other parties and refused to provide an alternative date. The commission ordered the hotel to pay him the refund amount, compensation for mental agony, and litigation expenses. The hotel has appealed the decision.
