If the consumer court is satisfied about the genuineness of the complaint made by the consumer, identify the reliefs which court could award

A. To remove the defect in goods or deficiency in services

B. To refund the price paid for the product/ service

C. To issue corrective advertisement to neutralise the effect of a misleading advertisement

D. To publish periodicals and other publications to impart knowledge about consumer rights.

Solution

Correct Option: 1

Reliefs available under the Consumer Protection Act include removing defects, replacing goods, refunding the price, paying compensation, discontinuing unfair trade practices, and issuing corrective advertisements. Publishing periodicals to impart consumer rights knowledge is a function of consumer organisations/NGOs, not a relief granted by consumer courts. Hence A, B and C are valid reliefs awarded by the court.
