Shop that sold used sherwani getting sued by customer

A local boutique owner has been sent a compensation notice by an upset buyer who alleges that he was sold an old sherwani for his cousin’s wedding.

A man, identified as Usman Shabbir, reached out to the Consumer Protection Court to file a complaint against the owner of the local boutique demanding Rs500,000 from him.

The News reports that the sherwani was ordered from the boutique on September 8 and according to the notice, the new sherwani was to be designed for Rs20,000 while Shabir paid Rs15,000 in advance.

“The owner of the boutique gave an old sherwani instead of a new one,” the notice read, adding that the owner violated the Punjab Consumer Protection Act 2005.

The district consumer court has summoned the owner of the boutique on January 2, 2024 .
