Consumer Dispute Resolution
Disputes with sellers, service providers, or manufacturers can be both distressing and financially burdensome. At Prashastha Legal, our experienced consumer law advocates offer strategic and effective resolution of such disputes through mediation, negotiation, and, where required, litigation before the appropriate consumer forums.
- We conduct a thorough analysis of each case, meticulously drafting your complaint on the basis of the supporting evidence, with a tailored legal approach to pursue or defend claims in line with applicable consumer protection laws.
- In addition to representing consumers seeking redress, we also advise and represent sellers, service providers, and manufacturers in defending claims, ensuring compliance, and mitigating liability.
Filing Complaints Before Consumer Forums
In order to initiate a complaint under the Consumer Protection Act, it is essential to determine both pecuniary and territorial jurisdiction. Proper identification of the appropriate forum ensures procedural compliance and avoids unnecessary delays or objections. Pecuniary jurisdiction is based on the total value of the goods or services in question, along with the compensation claimed. The current thresholds are as follows:
- District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum – Where the value of the claim does not exceed INR 20 lakhs.
- State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission – Where the value of the claim exceeds INR 20 lakhs but does not exceed INR 1 crore.
- National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) – Where the value of the claim exceeds INR 1 crore.
Product Liability Cases
Consumers have the statutory right to seek redress against manufacturers, sellers, and service providers. At Prashastha Legal, we provide legal representation in product liability matters, ensuring our clients’ grievances are effectively presented before the appropriate consumer forums.
The District Commission is empowered under Section 39 to direct the opposite party to:
- Remove defects or replace the defective product
- Refund the purchase price with interest
- Pay compensation for loss or injury, including punitive damages
- Cease the manufacture or sale of hazardous goods
- Issue corrective advertisements to counter misleading claims
- Pay damages in cases involving a large number of unidentified consumers
Unfair Trade Practices
Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, an unfair trade practice is any deceptive method used to promote goods or services, including:
- False Representations: Misstating quality, quantity, origin, or affiliations, and presenting refurbished goods as new.
- Misleading Warranties: Offering guarantees or promises without proper testing or intent to honour them.
- Deceptive Pricing: Misrepresenting market prices or advertising discounts without the capacity to supply.
- Concealment of Information: Omitting material facts that a reasonable consumer would need before purchase.
- Non-Issuance of invoice or Receipts: Failing to provide proper purchase documentation, hampering consumer ability to seek redressal or claim warranty/service.
- Spurious Goods or Services: Selling counterfeit or fake products that are falsely represented as genuine.
- False Guarantee: Guarantees to the public any warranty or guarantee of a product’s performance, efficacy, or length of life, not based on adequate testing.
E‑Commerce Regulatory Compliance
Prashastha Legal guides online businesses, including marketplaces and inventory platforms, through the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, 2020.
- Registration & Grievance Framework: Appoint and train a local grievance officer to acknowledge complaints within 48 hours and resolve them within 30 days, assisting with Indian registration or foreign-entity compliance.
- Mandatory Disclosures: Crafting clear website disclosures of legal name, office addresses, customer‑support contacts, and importer details for foreign goods.
- Fair Trade Compliance: Reviewing marketing materials and pricing structures to eliminate deceptive practices, price manipulation, and pre‑checked consent boxes.
- Grievance Mechanism Implementation: Advice on implementing ticket‑based complaint systems and liaising with the National Consumer Helpline.
Appeals & Higher Court Proceedings
Aggrieved parties have the right to challenge commission orders through a structured appellate process.
- Appeal to State Commission: A party aggrieved by a District Commission’s order may appeal to the State Commission.
- Filing Timeline: Appeals must be filed within 45 days of the order. In exceptional cases, the late filings are permitted with sufficient cause.
- Deposit Requirement: Appellants are required to deposit 50% of the awarded amount for appeal.
- Non-Appealable Orders: Orders resulting from settlements or mediation cannot be appealed.
- Further Appeals: Decisions by the State Commission can be further challenged before the National Commission (NCDRC), but only on a substantial question of law.
- Final Recourse: Petition against NCDRC rulings will lie before the Supreme Court.
