Buddhist Mission Dental ... vs Bhupesh Khurana & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the advertisement published by the Buddhist Mission Dental College and Hospital, which claimed 'No Capitation Fee' and affiliation with Magadh University and recognition by the Dental Council of India, constituted misleading representation under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. The Court emphasized that the college's failure to provide receipts for the payments made and the subsequent revelation of its unrecognized status amounted to deficiency in service under Section 2(1)(g) of the Act. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the Commission's order to refund the amounts paid by the complainants along with compensation.
