Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court held that the advertisement by the Buddhist Mission Dental College, which claimed 'No Capitation Fee' and affiliation with Magadh University under Article 30 of the Constitution, constituted misleading representation under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. The Court established that the college's failure to provide receipts for the capitation fee and its lack of proper affiliation amounted to deficiency in service. The appeal was dismissed, upholding the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission's order in favor of the complainants.
