During the conversation, Shazia asked Siddique to gift her a new mobile phone. Ghuman said, \u201cIt\u2019s not a problem, you send me your address, I\u2019ll send it right away.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shazia said, \u201cGhuman, you\u2019ll kill me, send the mobile to my house, do it in such a way that I get it couriered to the TCS office and I\u2019ll receive it from there myself.\u201d Ghuman bought a new <a href=\"https:\/\/dailyausaf.com\/en\/technology\/get-brand-new-iphone-17-on-easy-installments\/\">OPPO phone<\/a> and took TCS\u2019s \u201cself-collection\u201d service so that this mobile would be given to Shazia only from the TCS office, in return, Ghuman also paid the insurance charges for the mobile.<\/p>\n<p>A few days later, Shazia messaged Siddique Ghuman on Facebook and told him that she had received the mobile. But after that, the contact ended\u2026 no reply and finally Ghuman blocked Ghuman.<\/p>\n<p>Ghuman did not give up, he contacted TCS that if you had given the mobile to Shazia, then there must be some kind of address for it, so give it to me.<\/p>\n<p>TCS people, after looking at the record, told us that it was not Shazia but a boy named Aamir who came to us and said that I am Shazia\u2019s brother, if my sister cannot come to the office, then I should receive the mobile, we got it done. Ghuman was furious that when I had insisted while taking the \u2018self-collection\u2019 service that the mobile should be given only to Shazia, then why did you give it to someone else? Ghuman sent a legal notice to TCS.<\/p>\n<p>On this, TCS caught Shazia\u2019s \u201cbrother\u201d Aamir. Soon, Aamir told him that \u201cI am \u2018Shazia Saeed\u2019, I surrounded Ghuman with a fake ID of this name and ordered the mobile, catch this mobile and return it to Ghuman\u201d. The company contacted Ghuman to return the mobile. Ghuman, heartbroken, got even angrier.<\/p>\n<p>Ghuman demanded Rs 24,000 in damages from the company in addition to the mobile phone, saying that it was the company\u2019s fault. Under the \u201cself-collection\u201d service, the company was only authorized to give the mobile phone to \u201cShazia.\u201d If she did not come, the mobile phone would have been returned to me. The company refused to pay the damages, saying that it was your fault that you sent the mobile phone on a fake ID.<\/p>\n<p>Siddique Ghuman filed a case in the Consumer Court. After a full trial, the court ordered TCS to pay Rs 24,000 in insurance damages and another Rs 100,000 to Ghuman, saying that he should have sued for not fulfilling Ghuman\u2019s legitimate demand.<\/p>\n<p>The company filed an appeal in the Lahore High Court against the decision. Here, Siddique Ghuman fought his own case and proved the injustice done to him. The High Court dismissed the company\u2019s appeal and upheld the Consumer Court\u2019s decision.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, Ghuman could not get Shazia, but he did get Rs 1.25 lakh in damages.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LAHORE: A citizen named Ghuman became friends with a girl named \u201cShazia Saeed\u201d on Facebook.
