Consumer Commission orders Mahindra to replace Marazzo engine, pay Rs 1 lakh

The National Consumer Commission has directed Mahindra and its dealer to replace a Marazzo car's engine free of charge after it developed trouble within months of purchase. The commission also ordered them to pay the owner Rs 1 lakh in compensation. Mahindra's claim that poor fuel quality caused the engine damage was rejected after the panel found inconsistencies in the dealer's fuel test report and its timing. Lower court rulings in favor of the company were overturned due to flawed evidence analysis.
