Harassment by Coding Ninjas for Payment After Leaving an Incomplete Course

Dear client,
Section 73 of the Indian Contract Act,1872 makes provision for un-liquidated damages (not stipulated in a contract), and Section 74 of the said Act deals with liquidated damages (stipulated in a contract), and no compensation is attracted for mere breach of contract u/s.73. 74 of the Act unless such breach resulted in an actual loss or damage to the opposite party. The action of the Company prima facie appears to be an unfair trade practice as defined under Section 2 (47) of the Consumer Protection Act,2019. A service provider did not deserve service charges without rendering the agreed service to a consumer. So, in the given scenario, as a Consumer, serving a legal notice to the concerned service provider, Coding Ninja, you can file a complaint under Section 35 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 against them over alleged unfair trade practice before the Dist. Consumer Commission claiming a refund of course fees on a pro-rata basis along with compensation for harassment and cost of litigation. The complaint needs to be filed before the Dist. Consumer Commission within TWO YEARS from the date of cause of action. If the circumstances so warrant you can file a criminal suit against them for criminal intimidation under Section 351 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita(BNS).
