Legal Question in Consumer Law in India

2 days back I purchased a swift from a dealer. It was 53k driven.
He told me that there is no accident on this car and is perfectly fine.
Car is 5 years old.
When for servicing I went to the maruti station they told me that the odometer reading
gas been changed to 53k. This car was last serviced 1 year back and at that time
odometer reading was 80k.
The first owner was driving the car 20k per annum, so car went over 1 lakh and somebody mangled the odometer to 53k.
I have got the last service bill from maruti of 80k mileage.
Car has 5 claims in 4+ years.
The cars driver door and rear door got damaged completely and replaced.
1. Is mangling of car odometer considered a fraud ?
2. I have the proof from last bill car is 80k driven, is that sufficient to prove in court ?
3. What are the chances of winning the case ?
4. Can I challenge him on basis of fraud ?

You can straight away go to the dealer and question all these issues and make him liable for this act.

as far as your grievances are concerned, they seem genuine and you may approach the city civil court or the consumer court for appropriate relief.
