Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, specifically Section 12, allows consumers to seek redress for grievances against service providers. The Court found that the State Commission and National Commission failed to consider crucial evidence presented by the appellant, which led to a prejudiced outcome. Consequently, the Court allowed the appeal, set aside the orders of the lower commissions, and remitted the matter back to the State Commission for reconsideration.
