Roy stated, “undergone severe mental breakdown and self- esteem as she always had long hair and because of fault on the part of ITC Hotels Ltd, she has been left with little or almost no hair”.
 
“She stopped seeing herself in the mirror... and her social activities. She is a communication professional and required to be involved in meetings and interactive sessions. But she lost her self-confidence due to little hair. She also suffered loss of income due to mental breakdown after the shoddy haircut and, thereafter, the torturous hair treatment. She left her job also... It is submitted that she has gone through the pain and trauma for the last two years after this incident”

“No basis whatsoever has been set out in the complaint on which the claim for compensation has been quantified at Rs 3 crore. The complainant has inflated the alleged claim deliberately in order to invoke the jurisdiction of this Hon’ble Court and the complaint is liable to be dismissed for want of pecuniary jurisdiction,” the lawyer for ITC argued.
 
The court being satisfied on the fault of ITC Hotels and seeing an internal WhatsApp chat with ITC accepting its fault found in the favour of the complainant Aashna Roy awarding her a claim of Rs. 2 crores.
“A bare perusal of the WhatsApp chat adduced by the Complainant would reveal that the Opposite Party had admitted the fault on their part and, by offering the free hair treatment, tried to cover it. There was also negligence on the part of the Opposite Party No.2 in giving hair treatment to the Complainant,” the NCDRC judgment said
