Mr. Justice M.Y. Kawoosa, President—Facts barely needed for the disposal of this complaint are that complainant purchased six Air Conditioners to be installed in his jewellery shop at Jammu for a sum of Rs. 1,39,990.00 though the date of purchase is not given in the complaint but it emerges that these have been purchased sometime in September, 1990. They proved faulty. Since the Air Conditioners were not put to use from October, 1990 to April, 1991. In April, 1991 when the Air Conditioners were put in service it was found that four of such were faulty. Matter was brought to the notice of O.P. O.P. did not address himself to the complaints. Finally legal notice was sent to him and the Air Conditioners were not made workable.

2. O.P. took a stand in the written version that the complainant is not a consumer. These were for commercial purpose, and secondly the complainant failed to make any complaint regarding non-function of such Air Conditioners during the warranty period, and thirdly there is no deficiency in service.

3. However, this Commission by its judgment dated 9.1.1996 allowed the complaint and directed the O.P. to replace the Air Conditioner with a guarantee of one year
