Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's directions to the State Government to constitute State Consumer Forums and amend laws were beyond its jurisdiction, infringing on the separation of powers principle under the Constitution. The Court emphasized that judicial restraint must be exercised and that courts should not encroach upon legislative functions. The appeal was allowed, and the High Court's directions were set aside, reaffirming the limits of judicial authority under Article 254 and the Consumer Protection Act.
