Mr. Justice H.S. Brar, President—Vide this order two Appeals (Nos. 537 and 554 of 1998) are being disposed of as both the appeals have been filed against the same order.

2. Purchase of one Kinetic Spark two-wheeler from opposite party No. 2, i.e. M/s. Inder Auto Enterprises, Ludhiana, who is the authorised dealer of opposite party No. 1, is not denied. It is further not denied that the purchase price of the Kinetic Spark was paid vide Invoice No. 3 dated 4.3.1996 to the opposite party and opposite party No. 2 had issued a separate receipt No. 9740 dated 4.3.1996 regarding the receipt of Rs. 13,900/- as the purchase price of the two-wheeler. It has also not been disputed that the two-wheeler bears Engine No. 01002844 and Chassis No. 04005394.

The grouse of the complainant before the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Sangrur (hereinafter called the District Forum) was that the two-wheeler sold to him by the opposite party was a condemned vehicle and it was manufactured in the year 1994 and it was only when it could not be sold in the open market, opposite party No. 2 sold the two-wheeler to the complainant by assuring that the two-wheeler was a product of the year 1996.
