LAHORE: A woman in Lahore moved consumer court on Friday
against a designer for late delivery of the wedding dress of her daughter.
A woman named, Salma filed a plea against a designer located in Lahore’s
Liberty Market, seeking damages of over Rs5 million.
Salma in her plea said she gave the order to a designer for stitching three
dresses for the wedding ceremony of her daughter and it was agreed by the
designer to deliver the dresses a day earlier from the wedding date.
However, the designer failed to fulfil his commitment and she was forced to
buy a wedding lehenga worth Rs300,000 and suffered mental anguish in the
process.
The woman pleaded the court to slap a fine of Rs 5,58,0000 over the designer
in terms of damages. The consumer court has issued notice to the designer
and asked him to appear before the court on March 24.
In one such incident, poor stitching and late delivery of suits caused a
fine of Rs51,500 to a tailor in Lahore, earlier this month.
According to details, a man named Muhammad Shahbaz Chishti moved consumer
court against tailor Muhamamd Hafeez over poor stitching and late delivery
of two suits he gave to him on April 1, 2021.
Chishti in his plea stated that the tailor promised to deliver the suits on
April 8, but delivered the same on April 25 against his requirements. -Agencies
