Vadodara: You cannot be considered a consumer if you sell gold to the same jewelry from whom you have bought the yellow metal early earlier.
Interesting observations about when a person can be called consumers and until when the obligation lies in the seller indicated by the Consumer Court here while deciding a complaint of a woman who applies leading jewelry from the city.
The woman named Bharati Mahae, a resident of Tarsali, has complained to the Consumer Court in 2009 that the jewelry that has a showroom in Jetalpur Road has bought 40 grams of gold at a price of 13,700 for 10 grams while market rates are rs.
14,300.
He said that because of a lower price of jewelry, he suffered a loss of Rs 2,400, so he asked the court to help him get an amount along with the compensation of Rs 25,000.
Gold sold mahale to jewelry in February 2009 was purchased from the same showroom in August 2008.
Responding to Mahale complaints, the jewelry argues that the price of gold continues to fluctuate in the Bullion market all day and at that time he bought gold, the price rs 13,700.
The jewelry then questioned the mahale case that how he could be called a consumer because he had sold gold and got a profit.
It also argues that Mahale has sold gold with his own approval.
Consumer forums consider the jewelry argument and reject the expensive case.
The court also noted that even though jewelry was a trader, but in the context of the case of Mahale, he was a consumer and because Mahale had sold gold and made a profit, he could not be called consumers.
