Rs. 2 Crores compensation for a bad haircut? Maybe! But not in absence of material supporting claim of loss suffered; Supreme Court asks NCDRC to decide matter afresh
In the case at hand, the woman had sought Rs. 3 Crores compensation, claiming that as a result of the bad haircut, she could not continue to lead her normal busy life as she no longer looked pretty; she had to face great humiliation and embarrassment; her career in the world of modelling was completely shattered; she went into a state of depression. NCDRC had awarded her Rs. 2 Crore compensation but without any material being produced by the woman to quantify the compensation.
