Deficiency of services by taxi stand owner


27-Mar-2023 (In Consumer Court Law)

I had booked a taxi to take my son to IGI airport to catch a flight to Doha. After confirming that a taxi would be sent on time, the taxi stand owner kept putting us off with some excuse or the other and then stopped answerimg our phone calls. By the time we could arrange for another taxi it was pretty late and my son missed his flight. He had to purchase another ticket costing around Rs. 25,000. I would like to take the taxi stand owner to consumer court. Kindly advise.

You can take the taxi stand owner to court, as this would constitute as deficiency of service under the Consumer Protection Act. It'll be filed before the District Consumer Forum. It'll be useful to produce any evidence of the taxi booking to show the deficiency. You can send a legal notice before filing the case to scare the opposite party into a settlement.
