I booked four tickets to Lucknow on the UPSRTC website for my critically ill father, aunt, and myself to visit SGPGI hospital. However, the bus was cancelled without explanation. An RTI revealed the bus permit was revoked days before my booking, yet no refund has been issued. I had to cancel their hospital appointment due to the cancellation. Can I file a consumer court case to recover my losses and a criminal case against UPSRTC for issuing tickets without a valid permit?
Best Answer
You can file a consumer complaint to recover the cost of tickets and seek compensation for the inconvenience caused. You can also consider filing a criminal complaint against UPSRTC for cheating and for causing mental agony due to their negligence. The Consumer Protection Act and the Indian Penal Code provide legal recourse for such situations.
