Meri Shaadi Karva Do: Rajendra Mule's case will come up for hearing on October 8.</td></tr></tbody></table>Busy when young Mule spent his early life working and then a legal matter tied him up for many years. When he was finally in a position to marry he couldn't find a bride of his choice a simple Brahmin girl who could look after his house and family. After three decades of a futile search, Mule tried the matrimonial sites route. But everyone he approached rejected him. "They said I was too old, but then I found InMatri.com," said Mule. He alleged that it was Inmatri.com that approached him in 2007 with the promise of finding a match. Added Mule, "The website authorities convinced me that if I registered with a package of Rs 2,400, they would forward proposals fitting my demands within six months. So in February 2007, I registered on the site and began awaiting a response." Six months on He waited for six months, but the site did not respond. It was then that Mule sent his first letter to the site asking for compensation. But the site kept neglecting his summons. So, on December 10, 2007, Mule registered a complaint against Inmatri.com at Bandra's consumer forum. However, a few months after the case was registered, a potential suitor contacted Mule. He recalled, "She said she had gotten in touch with me through the site. She was not good looking and wore a wig. We did not click and I rejected her. And this was the only proposal sent from their side for the amount I paid." Mule said that after he filed the case, legal experts from the portal offered to settle the case out of court. u00a0 Though they refused to pay him the compensation of Rs 9,260, they offered a free six-month matrimonial package to rectify their mistakes, he claimed. "I asked them to put their offer down on paper along with an assurance that they would find a perfect bride for me, but they were not ready to do so," said Mule. Mule is now fighting his own case against Inmatri.com's lawyer. With the date of hearing October 8 closing in, he is charged up. "I don't know what is written in my fate, but as a responsible citizen I have decided to fight till I succeed against such fraud sites that don't deliver what they promise," said Mule. Mule still hopes to find his soulmate, though he will not go knocking on an Internet matchmaker's door again. The Other Side Jigar Notaria, the legal representative of Inmatri.com refused to comment on the case, saying the matter was sub judice.
