A homebuyer finally got justice after waiting nine long years for her government-backed affordable housing unit. The Real Estate Regulatory Authority (RERA) has ordered the Housing Board to refund the full amount she paid, along with interest.

Deepti Parekh booked her flat under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana and Chief Minister Housing Scheme. She paid the full Rs. 8.5 lakh by 2018, expecting to move in by 2019. Instead, she kept paying rent while still servicing her housing loan. The Housing Board repeatedly promised alternatives, but nothing was handed over.

The Housing Board blamed technical and financial problems for the delay. They argued that some blocks weren’t financially viable and that Parekh had opportunities to move into other flats. RERA rejected these excuses, ruling that she was entitled to a full refund plus interest. The total amount due came to Rs. 15.84 lakh, to be paid within 30 days.

This ruling is a big win for homebuyers stuck in delayed government housing projects. It shows that even state authorities cannot ignore the rights of buyers. Prolonged delays aren’t just frustrating-they can now be legally challenged, with full refunds and interest on the line.

A couple’s dream trip turned into a nightmare after an airline allegedly changed their return flight timing without informing them. When they reached Bali airport, they were shocked to learn that their flight had already left. Stranded in a foreign country, they had no option but to spend over Rs.51,000 on fresh tickets just to get back home.

The trouble did not end there. Because of the delay, they also missed their connecting flight and had to spend extra money on travel. The couple approached the consumer court after the airline failed to provide any proper help or compensation.

The Consumer Commission came down heavily on Tata SIA Airlines, saying airlines have a basic duty to inform passengers about schedule changes on time. The Commission said the earlier compensation of just Rs.7,000 for mental harassment was far too low considering the stress, inconvenience and financial loss suffered by the passengers.

The Commission increased the compensation to Rs.50,000, along with refund of travel expenses, interest, and litigation costs. The order sends a strong message that airlines cannot casually inconvenience passengers and walk away without consequences.

A woman running an online fashion business sent three expensive pashmina shawls through the postal department. The parcel was worth Rs.60,000. But the package never reached the customer. After months of running from office to office, she finally took the matter to the Consumer Court.

The postal department tried to avoid responsibility. Officials argued that the parcel was not insured and the exact value of the items was not disclosed at the time of booking. They also claimed the department cannot be held responsible for lost parcels during transit.

But the Consumer Court did not accept these excuses. Records from the postal department itself showed the parcel was marked as “item lost.” The Commission said once a customer pays for a postal service, the department has a duty to deliver the package safely. Losing the parcel clearly amounted to poor service.

The Court ordered compensation for the business owner and also awarded damages for the mental stress and harassment caused.

The case is now sparking debate online. Should government postal services be held fully accountable for lost parcels? Or should customers always buy insurance for valuable shipments?

What do you think?

A man in Puducherry went out for biriyani with his friend and ended up finding something shocking inside his meal. While eating at Briyani & Co., he allegedly discovered a dead insect mixed in the biriyani. He quickly recorded videos and photos and later took the matter to the Consumer Court.

The customer claimed the restaurant served unsafe and unhygienic food. He said the incident caused mental stress, fear about his health, and completely destroyed his trust in the restaurant. Even after receiving a legal notice, the restaurant reportedly failed to offer any proper solution.

Things got worse for the restaurant when it failed to appear before the Consumer Commission. The court relied on the customer’s photos and videos and noted that the restaurant had even apologized in a Google review reply earlier, which weakened its own defence. The Commission called it clear negligence and poor food safety standards.

The court ordered the restaurant to pay ₹10,000 as compensation and ₹3,000 for legal expenses. But the most surprising part? The restaurant was also directed to give the customer 10 free plates of Hyderabadi Chicken Biriyani over five Sundays while following proper food safety rules.

Would you ever eat again at a place where this happened? Or is one mistake forgivable if the restaurant improves?
