Pratap Singh Yadav vs Huda & Anr

The Supreme Court held that under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, a person who voluntarily surrenders a plot of land and accepts a refund is not considered a consumer, thus lacking the standing to file a complaint. The Court affirmed the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission's dismissal of the appellant's revision petition, upholding the State Commission's finding that the complaint was time-barred. Consequently, the appeal was dismissed, reinforcing the interpretation of consumer status under the Act.
