Solution
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.
