When the complainant took the laptop to the first opposite party dealer they refused to accept it saying that the second opposite party service centre handled repairs. The first opposite party informed the complainant that the service centre closes after 7 PM daily so the laptop couldn't be handed over that day. Therefore, the complainant filed a complaint before the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Thrissur, Kerala, seeking an order directing the opposite parties to replace the laptop with a new one, along with compensation and costs. The Commission observed that charging the complainant for fixing defects in the laptop during the warranty period is an act of unfair practice by the second opposite party and constitutes a deficiency in service.
