Madurai:
The District Consumer Court today ordered a car dealer to return over Rs 7 lakh to a buyer for not replacing a defective car sold to him.

The engine developed frequent snags in a few months and the dealer did not take any action to rectify it, he alleged, adding, he had returned it to the dealer seeking a new car. However, the dealer neither repaid the money nor replaced the car.
Consumer court Judge Deivaraj directed the dealer to return the amount of Rs 7,50,000 to the owner and pay a compensation of Rs 1.5 lakh for causing him anguish and anxiety.
