It was further alleged that the complainant travelled from AG Colony Sector 41-B, Chandigarh to Sector 48-B Chandigarh, which covers a distance of 8.83 kms and took only 15 minutes. However, Uber India illegally\/arbitrarily charged Rs 1334 for the aforesaid trip which amounts to deficiency in service.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\"><span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Per contra<\/span>, Uber India argued that the upfront fare shown to the rider was Rs.359\/-, however, the final trip fare was Rs.1334\/- due to multiple route deviations during the course of the journey. The opposite parties argued that it was not able to determine if the said deviations were rider or driver induced. It was further submitted that Uber cannot be held liable in cases of route deviations and resultant fare changes, as it merely acts as an intermediary between the rider and the driver and is not party to any agreement between them regarding the route taken for the journey.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">It is also stated that Uber India, solely as a goodwill gesture and to maintain users&#8217; faith in reliability of the platform, have refunded Uber Credits worth Rs.975\/- to the complainants&#8217; uber account.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Commission&#8217;s Assessment:<\/span> Perusing the facts of the case the documents presented by the parties, the Commission noted that Uber has transferred the burden of deficiency in service onto the shoulders of the driver. It was pointed out that as per record, the complainant was bound to pay to the driver as per the directions of the opposite parties only.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Coming down heavily on Uber India, the DCDRC noted that a layman does not know intricacies of contract between Uber and its drivers. <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">When someone avails online services through the known or branded concern, then the person expects to have a contract with this branded concern and not with the hidden partner of the branded service provider<\/span>, which is why Uber escapes from liability under the garb of hidden contract between them with the driver partner. Keeping in view all this, the Commission pointed out that ordinary layman like complainant cannot be denied his due by invoking intricacies of law. &#8220;<span style=\"font-style: italic;\">It is so because technicalities cannot come in the way of administration of justice to hapless consumers who stand exploited like complainant in this case<\/span>&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Commission thus concluded that the act of opposite parties for non-providing proper services and forcing the complainant to indulge in the instant unnecessary litigation proves deficiency in service and their indulgence in unfair trade practice.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Commission also held that in order to keep a check on unruly service providers such as Uber, who commit breach of assurances, promises and commitments at the nick of time, they are required to be dealt with heavy hands and as such they must be made to deposit at least Rs.10,000\/- as compensation in Consumer Welfare Fund of the Chandigarh District Forum.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">Ashwani Parashar v.
