Deficiency in service of railway staff

Railway staff at ticket counter asked me pay more amount without considering the concession details mentioned in form. I asked for details of the amount he said he didnt know about the concession. But i have mentioned it clearly (under concession/travel authority no column) mentioned in reservation form. But he didnt notice it because he was watching movie in his mobile phone with headset in his ears and booked tickets without properly looking at the form. He asked me to pay but i refused and lodged a complaint at that office by writing it in the complaint book placed their. He cancelled that ticket and because of his inefficiency and carelessness, movie interest I once again filled up a fresh form and got my tickets.

 

Can I approach consumer court for deficiency of service and compensation for mental agony suffered by me ?

Yes you can file consumer complaint even when you lodge complaint in complaint book.

yes i raised objection after that he removed headset from one ear(earlier headset were on both ears) and started arguing with me and asking me to pay the incorrect amount and quoted " how will i know that there is a concession" this after me clearly mentioning about the concession details in the form at appropriate space provided.

If you file a complaint before the Consumer Court it will be against the railways and the railways will try to defend themselves in the consumer court and, if required, defend the booking clerk also. The booking clerk will go scot-free. You should have videoed the booking clerk himself on your mobile phone and complained to the higher authorities in railways. Then only there is a chance of punishing the booking clerk. The purposes of writing in the complaint book and complaining before consumer court are different. Writing in the compalint book is against the booking clerk. Complaint before the Consumer Court is against the railways.
