Annoyed by the tailor’s failure to deliver clothes for his brother’s engagement on time, a Karachi man has filed a case against him seeking compensation of Rs 100,000.
The man approached the Consumer Protection Court (South), requesting the court to issue a notice to the tailor.
The petitioner said that the tailor had promised to deliver the stitched clothes by February 20. Despite visiting the shop several times, the clothes were not ready.
The petitioner further explained that the delay forced him to buy a replacement dress for his brother’s engagement ceremony.
In his petition to the court, the resident demanded a fine of Rs 50,000 for not fulfilling the promise and an additional Rs 50,000 as compensation for the mental anguish caused due to it.
The complainant gave clothes for Balochi embroidery on three dates in December 2024 and January 2025, with some advance payment.
The respondent had promised to deliver the finished suits before the engagement of the petitioner’s brother, which was scheduled on February 20.
When the petitioner went to collect the clothes on February 10, 2025, the respondent gave excuses about the unavailability of workers. Upon the petitioner’s daily visits, he realized that the clothes were untouched.
