SCDRC answers"},"content":{"rendered":"<div style=\"text-align: justify; line-height: 150%;\">\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\"><span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (SCDRC), Delhi:<\/span> In the instant appeal wherein the Commission had to deliberate whether a car manufacturer, can be held liable in the event a car dealer cannot be served with the DCDRC&#8217;s order; the Bench of <span style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Sangita Dhingra Sehgal, J<\/span>.<span style=\"font-weight: bold;\"> (President)<\/span> and JP Agrawal (Member), after considering the facts of the case, held that a car manufacturer cannot be held liable for the omissions or wrongdoing on the part of the dealer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The complainant upon getting impressed by a lucrative deal on Hyundai Santro car via a newspaper advertisement, approached Respondent 1, who was an authorized dealer of Hyundai and deposited Rs 3.32 Lakhs. Copies of the receipts were given to the complainant.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Respondent 1 assured the complainant that the car would be delivered to him on or before 31-9-2009. The same, however, did not happen and the complainant was told to wait till 10-2-2009.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">On 10-2-2009, when the complainant visited to take his car&#8217;s delivery, he was shocked to see that Respondent 1&#8217;s showroom was shut down. Hence, the complainant filed a police complaint alleging that he was cheated of Rs 3.32 Lakhs by Respondent 1. Furthermore, the complainant approached Respondent 2 (manufacturer) and Respondent 3 (customer relations officer) to complain, wherein he was assured that action would be taken on the matter within 3 working days.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">All efforts in vain, the complainant approached the DCDRC seeking delivery of the booked car, interest and compensation of Rs 1 Lakh for mental agony.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The DCDRC upon considering the facts of the case held that the complainant had utterly failed to establish any nexus between himself and Respondents 2 and 3. The DCDRC however held that Respondent 1 could not escape his liability for breach of commitment and directed him refund the booking amount with interest.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Aggrieved with the afore-stated ruling, the complainant approached the SCDRC stating that lack of Respondent 1&#8217;s current address prevented the execution of DCDRC&#8217;s order. The complainant further stated that since Respondents 2 and 3 have not admitted to the termination of their dealership with Respondent 1, therefore they cannot absolve themselves from liability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Perusing the matter, the SCDRC relying on relevant precedents of Supreme Court and NCDRC, noted that there was no manufacturer-dealer agreement on record, therefore the Commission assumed that the agreement was based on a principal-to-principal relationship.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The SCDRC further noted that the booking amount paid by the complainant to Respondent 1 was not transferred to the manufacturer i.e., Respondents 2 and 3. Hence, there was no privity of contract between the complainant and Respondents 2 and 3; therefore, they cannot be held liable.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">With the afore-stated assessment, the SCDRC upheld the decision of DCDRC and the instant appeal was dismissed. <\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">[<span style=\"font-weight: bold; color: #632423;\">X v.
