Bengaluru man sued a well-known supermarket for selling expired oats and won a refund and compensation of Rs 10,000. On September 24, 2021, Joripet resident Parappa purchased a packet of Post Honey Bunches of Oats costing Rs 925 from the Namdhari supermarket near Ashok Pillar, Jayanagar. Parappa consumed the product, fell sick, and consulted a doctor. To his shock, the product was relabelled with fresh dates instead of the original label which showed that the product had expired. Parappa went to the Bengaluru I Additional District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, where his lawyer presented his case. The proceedings reportedly lasted for about nine months, where the court noted that the complainant had provided valid evidence related to the relabelling of the oats packet with false manufacturing and expiry dates over the original dates. On August 8, 2023, the court rules in favour of Parappa and directed the company to pay the customer a full refund of Rs 925 and a compensation of Rs 5,000 for the illness caused to him. The court also directed the company to pay an additional Rs 5,000 as cover for Parappa’s court expenses.
