Appeal
The order is good. But the District Forum has directed LG is replace the old AC with another new one of the same model. This model has been discontinued several years ago.
Further, the Forum has not awarded any interest and costs which is normally done.
I have therefore preferred appeal in the State Commission.
Happy Ending
LG has agreed to replace the old AC with one of the latest versions and pay compensation of Rs. 10,000. I will withdraw the appeal.
