Car owner gets 32.5L refund over 12-year service delay
Ahmedabad: The Gujarat State Consumer Dispute Redressal Commission has held the Surat dealer of a luxury car brand and its after-sales service provider liable for service deficiency, ordering them to refund Rs 32.50 lakh to a customer. The decision came after his car remained unrepaired for more than 12 years following submersion in seawater. Paresh Panjabi, a Surat resident, bought the car for Rs 38 lakh in Nov 2012. The vehicle got stuck in mud during a family trip to Suvali Beach in Jan 2013 and later submerged in seawater due to delayed assistance from the car maker's service provider. Despite repeated calls for help, the service response was inadequate and came too late to prevent the car from submerging. The vehicle was eventually recovered with assistance from local residents but has since remained at the service centre without repairs. The service centre estimated the repair cost at Rs 55 lakh, and the insurer repudiated his claim, saying the car was stuck because of his negligence. Panjabi approached the consumer commission against the local car dealer, service provider and the insurer, alleging a defective product, misrepresentation about the car's off-road capabilities, and failure to provide adequate post-sale service. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Compra CFD de Ecopetrol con sólo $200 y empieza a ganar.

Following prolonged hearings, the commission ruled that there was no question of a manufacturing defect in the vehicle and upheld the insurance company's position.

But when it was needed, they could not help the complainant pull out the car from the mud, and they tried to disown liability because the complainant drove the car on a muddy beach contrary to statutory warning." It slammed the service agency for inflating the repair costs to profit from the complainant's loss, calling it unethical and profit-driven. It said that the loss could have been minimized with timely action, but Respondent No 2 (service agency) "is guilty of deficiency in service". The commission further said that since the car is lying with the service centre for repairs and "by this time it must have been converted into debris". It directed the dealer and the service centre to retain the car and pay the bill amount of Rs 32.50 lakh to Panjabi as compensation for deficiency in service.

Classic Doctor Who villain the Rani returns to show played by Archie Panjabi
Saturday's episode saw the 803rd Interstellar Song Contest take place, when Mrs Flood, played by Anita Dobson, bi-generated and revealed her true identity to be the renegade timelord originally played by Kate O'Mara. Emmy Award-winning Panjabi's character, who first appeared in the BBC sci-fi series in 1985 in the Mark Of The Rani episode, has been hiding as Mrs Flood, 'meticulously waiting for her time to face the Doctor', according to producers. Speaking about taking on the role, Panjabi, 52, said: 'It seems there's been quite a bit of speculation about the Rani's return, and who can blame you? 'Kate O'Mara's portrayal was brilliant, ruthless and unforgettable. Now, under Russell T Davies, she's back- and I'll ask, what in the Whoniverse will we bring to her? Let's just say, you might not be ready.' Both Panjabi and Dobson will appear in the two-part series finale Wish World and The Reality War, which will see the Doctor and the Rani go head to head in a battle, which it is said will 'send shockwaves through the Whoniverse'. Showrunner Davies said: 'Ncuti (Gatwa) always said he wanted to face the Rani, so after 32 years, she's back. 'It's an honour to work with Archie – I've been a fan for years, and what a joy, to see her twinned with Anita Dobson. It's the greatest threat the Doctor has ever faced, and there are even more villains to come.' The Rani last appeared on screens in a 1993 BBC Children In Need special of the show called Dimensions In Time, which saw the Doctor's Tardis land in Albert Square for a crossover between Doctor Who and EastEnders. Wish World will launch on Saturday, May 24, on BBC iPlayer at 8am, while The Reality War will premiere simultaneously on BBC One and iPlayer on Saturday, May 31, as well as in more than 450 cinemas across the UK and Ireland. Panjabi is known for her roles as Zahra Gahfoor in Hijack, Kendra Malley in Departure, and Kalinda Sharma in The Good Wife, for which she won a Primetime Emmy award.
