Neeraja Singh, Presiding Member

  1. This appeal is by the complainant, aggrieved by the order dated 20.3.2012, passed by the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Gwalior, dismissing his complaint against the opposite party, Post Office, in CC No. 436/11. The case of the appellant, who is appointed as an Asstt. Engineer in the M.P. Power Generation Co. Ltd., is that in February 2010 he was on leave. On 10th February, his employer sent him a registered letter, informing him that he had been promoted. He was asked to join at Shivpuri within 30 days, else the promotion would be cancelled automatically. As he was out of station, his house was locked. Respondent No. 3, the postman, had come to him in January 2010 asking for a tip. He refused to give him any money. The appellant alleges that aggrieved by this, the postman did not deliver the promotion letter. When he rejoined his office, he learnt that such a letter had been sent. He wrote to the respondent Nos. 1 and 2, enquiring about the whereabouts of the letter and was informed that the post had been delivered. The delivery list presented by the respondent did not have his signature. Due to the willful act of the postman, he was deprived of his promotion which resulted in a loss of enhanced salary. He has claimed compensation and costs.
