Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed whether a claimant under an REP licence qualifies as a consumer under Section 2(1)(d) of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986. The Court held that benefits provided under the Exim policy do constitute a 'service', thereby allowing consumer fora jurisdiction over such claims. The appeal was dismissed, affirming the lower fora's decisions that directed the payment of the premium and compensation to the respondent.
