With my little understanding of law, You can file against them for Cheating 420, 120B Criminal Conspiracy, etc etc (Criminal Law Practitioners in the forum can help with better inputs please) Click on the link & search for word cheating & you shall get so many sessions under which both Skoda & Vinayaka Skoda can be booked https://indiankanoon.org/doc/445276/ . Also invoke these offenses http://www.cartoq.com/illegal-car-mo...happen-to-you/. I hope your car is parked safely in your garage and not at their workshop. Consumer courts now don't work like how it used to work during Harish's case. (Out of my own experience I am guessing)
According to me the Skoda guy is just trying to put ice pack on your wounds and in no way has seriously taken up your issue to solve it. |
Yes, taking up the matter through criminal court are in thoughts and have already been discussed with the required people but I have been waiting for a few things to clear out and get some things done . Post which I will definitely take up the matter with this manner , but I'm sorry to not be transparent with this regard as it might hamper some of my moves .
And , regarding your idea of having a rally around the showroom and Skoda's office in bangalore is fantastic ! I'm definitely IN for such a thing, If BHPians are ready to support me for such an event then I'm ready to plan and host it.
And a real big thank you coming out and giving lots of support !

Here the fault lies clearly with the manufacturer Skoda as it has let it's dealers dictate the terms rather than the other way around. The antics of one Mr. Ketan points to the helplessness or the callousness of Skoda on it's behalf for it's customers. |
Definitely agree on this but I do not understand as to why Skoda has stayed numb for moving matters.

but unfortunately looks like there's enough people to not think of such things when they have enough ways to make illegal income!
And thank you for updating me about the coverage on motorbeam, I did post a reply there as well.

Add to that: they never heard of the Streisand effect. |
Exactly! And I also have personal information that it was not just me but about another 6-8 cars were similarly modified and delivered.

Accepting such an offer would be foolish, I rather fight till I win and give a clear and strong message to everyone.
Yes, what they did to us during the discussions were ruthless and unprofessional and it has just angered me more to not budge to them.
I really would be glad if you can "
we will share the links to friends, dissuade family from buying skoda cars, give you advise and moral support. "

The matter has already been taken up legally , I have been fighting it since last 8 months .
Yes the car is in my position and I'm doing every bit of my duty to keep the car road-worthy and required maintenance to keep car in top condition.

The law, probably in many places in the world, is largely for the wealthy, not for the ordinary man.
We know, for instance, how easy it was, time and time again, for Skoda to drag things out by the simple means of not turning up. It's a tactic that is both easy and free. ...To them, while the customer still has to take the time, waste the day, and pay the lawyer. |
Yes a lot of effort and time is required to fight and get victorious but when such fraudsters are defeated and the message is sent to such a manufacturer will be strong, I feel it's worth the pain and effort.
Yeah, the courts have definitely changed a little at least. Things do move fast now and have started supporting consumers.

I understand that if the petitioner and his lawyer is regular & opposite party doesn't show up then Ex-Parte orders are passed and if they need to get it cancelled then they have to take it to the state forum to get cancelled and if they do not get it cancelled before the next hearing then a judgement is passed in favour of the Petitioner. |
I hope to see such things happening with my case too! We would all see victory soon then.
and I have to agree with you for the part where the courts' functioning have changed.
