Haryana State Agriculatural ... vs Bishamber Dayal Goyal & Ors

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission affirming the orders of the State and District Commissions regarding the deficiency of service under the Punjab Agricultural Produce Markets Act, 1961. The Court found that the respondents' failure to pay instalments was justified due to the appellant's failure to provide basic amenities and proper notification of the market area. The Court held that the appellant could not demand payment without fulfilling its obligations, thus confirming the lower courts' rulings in favor of the respondents.
