Mr. Justice A.P. Chowdhri, President — This order would dispose of two complaints Nos. C-44 and C-45 both of 1995 arising out of common facts. In both the complainants, Mr. R.P. Jain in the former and Dr. Tarun Kumar in the latter travelled by flight S. 2002 from Bombay to Delhi on 20.8.94 by Sahara India Airlines, OP-1. Both are stated to be orthodox and strict vegetrarian. The dinner served on the flight was marked vegetarian. The complainants took part of it and discovered that they had been served a non-vegetarian dish viz. chicken curry. They lodged protest. The Commander of the flight apologised in writing promising to take corrective action. The caterer OP-2, also acknowledged the mistake and tendered apology. About six months later the present complaints have been filed in this Commission claiming Rs. 7 lacs each with 24% interest thereon from 20.8.94 till payment. The grounds for the claim are, (i) deficiency in service, (ii) that religious sentiments of the complainants had been hurt, (iii) that the complainants are facing social ostracism.
