  "account": "A fashion retailer in Karnataka has been ordered to pay Rs 10,000 to a customer who claimed he was charged Rs 10 for a paper carry bag while buying clothes. The Davanagere District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission ruled that the retailer had provided deficient service and an unfair trade practice by charging separately for the carry bag. The commission also directed the retailer to refund the Rs 10 charge for the bag and deposit Rs 20,000 with Consumer Legal Aid.",
