Andhra man wins Rs 10,000 payout over defective fingerprint scanner

A man in Andhra Pradesh, a state in India, bought a fingerprint scanner online.

The scanner did not work properly.

When he asked for his money back, no one returned it.

So he took his complaint to a special consumer court, called a consumer commission.

The commission looked at the proof he gave and agreed that he had been treated badly.

It said the online store, the seller, and the maker of the scanner were at fault.

The commission ordered them to give the man his money back.

They also had to pay him extra money because he felt very upset and stressed.

Altogether, the man received around Rs 10,000.
