Case History
Case Summary: M/S SHIVAM GAS SERVICE v. CHANDERKALI The Supreme Court dismissed Shivam Gas Service's special leave petition and restored the District Consumer Forum's original award of Rs. 3,05,000 with 12% interest to the respondents. The petitioner had supplied a defective gas cylinder with a faulty pin causing gas leakage; when the user lit a candle, the fire killed him and his son, destroying the house and belongings. The State Commission had unjustifiably reduced compensation to Rs. 2,00,000 with 9% interest based on conjecture; the Court found this reduction legally unsustainable and restored full compensation, directing the Registry to send the order by fax so respondents could recover the balance amount.
