Mr. Justice P. Ramakrishnam Raju, President—The complainant seeks for replacement of the car by a brand new one and claims a sum of Rs. 10 lakhs as compensation towards the loss of business sustained by him together with a further sum of Rs. 1 lakh towards mental agony and strain suffered by him.

2. The facts that emerge on a reading of the complaint are that the complainant purchased a Tata Estate AC car from the first opposite party on 30.1.1995. On 31.1.1995 the car started giving trouble and it stopped on the way after covering a distance of 1 km. from his house. In fact he had an important meeting with the members of Nizam’s family to finalise the deal regarding investment of their money in the complainant’s Company. However, a mechanic was brought at about 5.30 p.m., who examined the car and said that the fault was in solenoid valve switch but repaired it temporarily and started the car. That complainant was advised to send the car to the workshop on 1.2.1995. The faulty solenoid switch was replaced on 1.2.1995 and the car as alright on 2.2.1995. Again the car started giving trouble on 3.2.1995, therefore, the complainant could not attend important meeting with the family
