Dealer sold blacklisted car without verifying papers, ordered to pay Rs 2.51 lakh

A consumer commission in Punjab ruled that a car dealer must refund a buyer for a blacklisted vehicle. The buyer purchased a second-hand Maruti WagonR, which was later found to be blacklisted. The dealer failed to verify the vehicle's legal status before selling it, leading to a deficiency in service. While the buyer incurred significant expenses, the commission only ordered a partial refund.
