Jain (Presiding Member) while dismissing the revision petition filed by Yash Raj Films with regard to allegations of unfair trade practice &amp; deficiency being placed upon them, stated that,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI Fail to understand the logic behind including a song in the promo but excluding it while exhibiting the movie, unless the intention of the producer is to deceive the viewer by making him believe that the song would form part of the movie while knowing it very well that the said song would not be a part of the movie when it is exhibited in cinema halls.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The reason behind the complaint filed by the complainant was that she decided to watch the movie \u201cFAN\u201d on watching the promos of the movie. When the complainant watched the movie, the song \u201cJabra Fan\u201d was missing due to which she felt cheated and deceived and later she approached the District Forum.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Complaint filed on being dismissed by the District Forum, complainant approached the State Commission wherein it the petitioner was directed to pay a compensation of Rs 10,000 to the complainant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Petitioner had submitted that the song \u201cJabra Fan\u201d was shown on TV Channels as a promotional trailer of the film and it had been disclosed to the public at large by way of press interviews that the said song wouldn\u2019t be a part of the movie.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Being aggrieved by the State Commission\u2019s order, petitioner approached the NCDRC.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Question for consideration that arose was, whether the complainant can be said to be a consumer within the meaning of Section 2(1)(d) of the Consumer Protection Act or not.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><strong>\u201cConsumer means a person who buys goods or hires or avails services for consideration.\u201d<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Complainant paid the price of the ticket to the exhibitor. The price of the ticket received by the exhibitor, after excluding the tax component, is shared between the exhibitor, distributor and producer of the movie. Therefore, it cannot be accepted that the complainant was not a consumer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Term unfair trade practice is defined in Section 2(1)(r) of the Consumer Protection <\/strong><strong>Act and it includes the practices enumerated in the said Clause though the aforesaid Clause is not exhaustive and there can be practices other than those specified therein which amount to an unfair method or unfair or deceptive practice.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Commission held that the practice of including a song in the promo of a film shown widely on TV Channels but excluding the said song while exhibiting the movie, in my opinion, constitutes an unfair trade practice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Exclusion of a song from the movie will also constitute a deficiency, as defined in Section 1(g) of the CP Act, if the song is impliedly promised, but is later omitted while exhibiting the movie.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Thus, in the above view, the revision petition is dismissed.
