Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, affirming that the complaint filed by the respondent regarding the defective Kuboto power tiller was not barred by limitation under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. The Court noted that the respondent had made multiple attempts to seek repairs within the warranty period, and the delay in filing the complaint was due to the manufacturer's failure to act on these requests. The Court emphasized that the manufacturer did not deny liability for repairs or replacement, thus supporting the lower forums' decisions.
