Though in accordance with the facts as stated, the complainant\u2019s order was cancelled after a couple of hours and he was intimated for the same through a phone call from the customer service department of O.P. Further, the O.P. in response to the reason for cancellation stated that there was some \u2018Pricing issue\u2019 due to which the order stands cancelled.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The primary issue that arose in the matter was due to no-response on behalf of the O.P after continuous efforts made by the complainant through customer care service and e-mail in regard to a valid reason for cancellation of his order, which finally forced the complainant to issue a legal notice, which again was not responded by the O.P.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For the above-stated submissions, the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum stated that the \u201cO.P. was not only negligent in rendering proper service to the complainant but also involved in unfair trade practice; as such we hold there is deficiency in service by O.P.\u201d. Therefore, complainant\u2019s case was partly allowed and O.P. was directed to pay Rs 10,000 for mental agony as compensation and Rs 2,000\/- for the cost of litigation. [Supriyo Ranjan Mahapatra v.
