Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the dismissal of a composite complaint by the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission under Section 12(1)(c) of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, which requires commonality among complainants. The Court held that the NCDRC's refusal to allow a composite complaint was erroneous, emphasizing that the complainants, being flat buyers from the same project, had common grievances. The judgment reversed the NCDRC's order, allowing the complainants to proceed with a composite complaint.
