A consumer court in Punjab has slapped a fine of Rs 10,000 on Snapdeal and ordered them to deliver what they had initially promised: iPhone for Rs 68.
The Case
Nikhil Bansal, a BTech Student at Punjabi University saw a listing of an iPhone 5S 16 GB (Gold) on Snapdeal, which was priced Rs 68. On February 12th, he ordered the phone, and started waiting anxiously for such an awesome, cheap deal.
But as it so often happens on ecommerce portals, the order was cancelled and Nikhil never received that iPhone.
But unlike other shoppers, he refused to be silent.
He approached the district consumer forum in Sangrur district of Punjab, and filed a complaint after Snapdeal refused to ‘honor the deal’. The forum passed the judgment in favor of Nikhil, and Snapdeal was ordered to deliver the iPhone at the same rate in which it was initially promised: Rs 68.
Besides, the forum also ordered Snapdeal to pay Rs 2000 as penalty.
However, Snapdeal appealed in the consumer forum against this decision, and decided to fight the case. But again, they lost, as the forum now ordered them to pay a fine of Rs 10,000 to close the case.
This penalty needs to be deposited in consumer welfare fund.

They must fight this , as they have specifically stated it in the T&C that they would not honor any system glitch or price error occurred due to unavoidable circumstances .

That is specifically different scenario in which certain site uses these cheap methods to attract traffic towards them , but system/tech glitches occurs even with great giants like amazon too ( like last moto turbo case ).

Do you think Snapdeal’s T&C are above Law?
Do you think Judges in the Consumer Court were a bunch of fools that twice the case was passed in favour of the consumer?
I really do appreciate your thoughts on online e tailers but sometimes one needs to be rational too.

As soon as higher level authority of amazon came to know about moto turbo ficasso , they acted swift after measuring all pros on cons and acted accordingly , same thing happened with snapdeal FC200 code too .
i also believe snapdeal should fight back. If they loose the case, many people will sue them for frivolous reasons.

Still think of the company. Already they are burning so much, Judges go by laws… Are our laws updated??
