S.P. GOEL vs COLLECTOR OF STAMPS, DELHI

The Supreme Court held that the appellant was not a 'consumer' under Section 2(1)(d) of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, as the dispute arose from the registration of a document, which is not a service under the Act. The Court found that the District Forum and State Commission lacked jurisdiction to adjudicate the claim for deficiency of service regarding the registration of a 'Will'. Consequently, the judgment of the National Consumer Redressal Commission was upheld, dismissing the appellant's complaint.
