KARACHI \u2013 The Consumer Protection Court South Karachi has ordered an appliances and electrical manufacturer to pay compensation and replace a defective refrigerator sold with a lifetime warranty after it stopped working within a few months of purchase.<\/p>\n

The court accepted a complaint filed by a citizen against the company and directed it to pay Rs200,000 as compensation, along with Rs50,000 as legal costs, for violating consumer rights.<\/p>\n

The court also ordered the company to provide the complainant with a brand new refrigerator in place of the faulty one.<\/p>\n

According to the complainant, Arif, he had purchased the refrigerator from Clifton a few months ago. The product was sold with a lifetime warranty; however, it developed faults within a short period.<\/p>\n

The petition stated that despite multiple complaints and repair attempts, the refrigerator could not be fixed. The company allegedly kept delaying the matter by repeatedly promising a replacement but failed to fulfill its commitment.<\/p>\n

After hearing arguments from both sides, the Consumer Protection Court ruled that the company\u2019s conduct amounted to a violation of consumer protection laws and announced its verdict in favor of the consumer.<\/p>\n
