Jaipur Resort Ordered to Refund Rs 8.5 Lakh After Wedding Cancellation

A consumer commission in Jaipur has directed a resort to refund Rs 8.5 lakh out of a Rs 10 lakh advance paid for a wedding booking that was later cancelled. The commission ruled that the resort could not justify retaining the full advance amount. Since the resort failed to demonstrate actual financial losses caused by the cancellation, it was permitted to keep only Rs 1.5 lakh to cover legitimate booking expenses. The remaining Rs 8.5 lakh must be returned to the complainant within 45 days.
