Country Club promised plot with membership but never gave it; ordered to pay Rs 3.25L
A consumer commission in Delhi has ordered a hospitality club to reimburse a customer a sum of Rs 1.75 lakh after the club failed to deliver promised membership perks, including a complimentary plot in Maharashtra. In addition to the refund, the commission awarded Rs 1 lakh for mental distress and Rs 50,000 for legal costs.
The Delhi State Consumer Commission has ordered the Country Club to refund Rs 3.25 lakh to a customer who never received the promised benefits of a lifetime membership. The customer had paid Rs 1.75 lakh for a "Mr. Cool Global Parivar Life Membership" in April 2008, expecting a complimentary 2,000 sq ft plot at Golf Village, Kolad, Maharashtra.
The commission found the company deficient in service, as it failed to provide the membership card and the promised plot. The commission also awarded Rs 1 lakh for mental agony and harassment, and Rs 50,000 for litigation costs.
