Outrageous: Tailor sued for not stitching pockets

LAHORE: A tailor was issued a notice by a consumer court on Friday for stitching a bad suit in 2014. The disgruntled customer has demanded Rs300,000 as damages saying that the tailor had “ruined” his Eid celebrations. Petitioner Muhammad Umar said he gave Arif, the proprietor of DEAF Tailors, Ravi Road, cloth to stitch three shalwar and kamees in 2014. He said he had asked Arif to stitch two pockets on each kamees but when he received the suits, there were no pockets on the kamees. “That ruined my Eid celebrations,” he said. Umar said he complained about the defect to Arif who told him that he was busy with his own Eid preparations and could not stitch pockets on them. Umar asked the court to direct Arif to pay him Rs300,000 as damages for that.
