Consumer court orders construction firm to pay Rs 5.33 lakh compensation
A consumer court in Coimbatore has ordered a construction firm to pay a total of Rs 5.33 lakh as compensation for abandoning a house construction project.
Parveen Nisha from Vellalore, Coimbatore, filed a case in the Consumer Court against a construction firm for failing to complete the construction of her house.
The firm, located in Malumichampatti, abandoned the project midway, forcing the customer to incur additional expenses to get the work finished by another agency.
The Consumer Court, after hearing the petition, directed the construction company to pay Rs 5.18 lakh as compensation, along with Rs 10,000 for mental agony and Rs 5,000 towards court costs, totaling Rs 5.33 lakh.
