Hindi cinema actors Govinda and Jackie Shroff have come out with an advertisement for pain-relieving oil. They have been fined Rs 20,000 by a consumer court in Muzaffarnagar. Someone had filed a case against the oil company claiming that the pain in the advertisement was eradicated, but their pain did not disappear. In this case, the court has fined the actors and the company.
The court has imposed a fine of 20 thousand rupees for promoting pain-relieving oil. The case dates back five years, when a man filed a lawsuit against herbal oil-making company and two of its celebrity brand ambassadors. Now the court has ruled it and fined the actors and the oil company.
The complainant alleges that the pain was not relieved within 15 days of purchasing the oil, as claimed in its advertisement. In July 2012, Abhinav Agarwal, a Muzaffarnagar-based lawyer had ordered a pain relief oil for his father Brijbhushan Agarwal, 70, for Rs 3,600 after seeing an advertisement in the newspaper that promised full refund if the user fails to get visible results in 15 days but there was no pain relief even after 10 days.
The complainant says that Govinda and Jackie Shroff were promoting this company, so they bought it. The consumer court has ordered all five stakeholders - the company, Govinda, Jackie Shroff, Telemart Shopping Network Pvt Limited and Max Communications - to pay Rs 20,000 as compensation to the victim. It also ordered the firm to return Rs 3,600 paid by Agarwal with an interest of 9 per cent per annum along with other legal expenses.
