Thrissur (Kerala): The Thrissur consumer court Friday issued an arrest warrant against
Reliance Industries chairman Mukesh Ambani for failing to adhere
to its earlier ruling on a complaint by a customer of mobile phone
service.
The case before the Thirissur Consumer Dispute Redressal Forum
date backs to 2003 when M. Joseph purchased a Reliance Infocomm
mobile phone for Rs.24,000, according to his advocate Seby J.
Pulley.
The customer said he was promised numerous offers like free
outgoing calls and SMS but failed to get the services despite
several attempts to avail of the offers. A petition then was moved
in 2005.
In 2010, the court gave a verdict in favour of Joseph and directed
Reliance Infocomm to pay Rs.24,000, along with 12 percent interest
for five years. Then after waiting for a year, Joseph again
approached the court in March 2011 to help in being paid the
amount.
Following this, the court, presided over by Thrissur Consumer
Disputes Redressal Forum President Padmini Sudheesh, Friday
directed for an arrest warrant to be issued against Ambani as the
first accused and that he be produced before the court before Feb
15.
