⚖️ Legal Precedents Supporting Your Case​

Several Consumer Forums in India have ruled against Zomato for similar service deficiencies:

08 August 2024
Tamil Nadu - Thiruvallur - Zomato V/S Anand Sekar

Summary of facts culminating into complaint case CC/114/2024:-
It was the case of the complainant that he ordered Chappati Kurma, Special Dosa, Dinner Combo1 and Uthappam Combo through online with the Zomato food delivery app from Aksheyy Bhavan located at Thiruverkadu vide order ID: 5121170084 on 21.08.2023 at 9.53PM. But the opposite party delivered only two items around 10.30PM. When the complainant tried to reach the Zomato support team, they did sufficient enquiry but came upon with the reply that they were not able to reach the Restaurant at 10.52PM by one Ms.Vijayalakshmi Zomato support executive and without giving any information she closed the chat and made him to wait for another support agent. Complainant got connected to another support agent Mr.Dinesh and the complainant also tried to reach out the restaurant but again came up with same reply. Complainant was compelled to go and search for a restaurant for food and brought it for his family. On 22.08.2023 at 9.40Am again tried to reach the support team of Zomato to help him out with the issue but the opposite party’s concern never helped him out and again said the same reply that the opposite party’s were not able to contact the restaurant partner and closed the chat. It had been three days but the opposite party’s concern never turned up and helped him out with the issue. The opposite party failed to deliver the correct service and subsequent denial of the complainant’s request have resulted in significant financial as well as emotional repercussions since it was extremely crucial for the complainant to receive the correct service in a timely manner. The opposite party had miserably failed in providing right and proper service despite the complainant had paid the full amount to the opposite party authority and thereby causing deficiency in service.

Consumer Forum held that the opposite party had committed deficiency in service and award a compensation of Rs.10,000/- for the mental agony and hardship caused to the complainant along with refund of Rs.497.75/- to the complainant. Also award Rs.5,000/- towards litigation expenses.
