The District Consumer Commission at Bhojpur Ara held North Central Railway and the Railway Board liable for deficiency in service after passengers with confirmed berths were forced to travel standing, directing refund with interest, compensation of Rs 20,000 and litigation expenses of Rs 15,000.
The Delhi High Court dismissed a husband’s matrimonial appeal, ruling he could not penalize his wife for delayed defence filing after failing to deposit litigation expenses on time, observing that a party cannot create disadvantage for the respondent and later claim benefit from it.
