Andhra Pradesh - Anantapur - The Ola Electric Scooters(Show Room), Rep. by its Authorized Signatory V/S K.Swathi

Case filled by the Smt. K. Swathi W/o Harshavardhan Reddy frm Ananthapuramu District against The Ola Electric Scooters (Show Room), The Old Electric Technologies Private Limited and The Ola Electric Mobility Limited.

Smt. K. Swathi booked Liquid Silver color, but delivery person informed that if there is any damage to the scooter, it will be taken back without delivery, but this is a different issue, hence complainant has no choice except to receive the bike. The complainant mentioned in the delivery receipt about the color problem, she clearly stated that she booked Liquid silver color but delivered Guerra colour, the delivery agent promised her he will report the same to the concerned head. On 02.05.2022 the Ola challenger took the bike back from the complainant and given e-way bill. On repeated phone calls to Ola challenger, Ola App lead and to Ola customer care, the complainant received a call from Ola App leader Mr. Jagir Basha and complainant had a conference call with their superior, who assured complainant that the Ola bike order would be cancelled and the amount had paid would be refunded within 9-10 working days. The complainant repeatedly contacted the officials of the Ola Electric Scooters to request a refund. Since the bike had already been taken by the Ola Electric Scooters their employees acted negligently, causing the complainant mental agony and harassment.

In the result, the complaint is partly allowed by directing the Ola Electric Scooters to refund the price of the Ola bike i.e,Rs.1,39,163/- (Rupees One Lakh Thirty Nine Thousand One Hundred and Sixty Three Only) along with @9% P.A., from the date of purchase. The Ola Electric Scooters was also liable to pay compensation of Rs.1,00,000/- (Rupees One Lakh Only) towards mental agony and deficiency in service, costs within 45 days from the date of the judgment.
