Aforesaid appeals arise out of same order dated 01.08.2016 passed by
the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Jabalpur (for short ‘District
Commission’) in C.C.No.612/2014, therefore they are taken up together and are

13.04.2014 injector was replaced but there was no improvement in the car and
noise/sound continuously came from the engine. The opposite party no.2 suggested
to open the engine but the complainant objected the same. Despite repeated repairs

was manufacturing defect in the vehicle. The complainant therefore alleging
deficiency in service on part of opposite parties has filed a complaint before the
District Commission seeking replacement of veh
