A Bengaluru woman named Sabitha faced difficulties in obtaining her matured fixed deposit from a co-operative society. Despite multiple requests for repayment since October 2020, the society failed to return her funds. After sending a legal notice in February 2026, Sabitha filed a complaint under the Consumer Protection Act. The consumer commission ruled in her favor, awarding her the principal amount with interest.
