Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the liability of manufacturers under the Consumer Protection Act, particularly focusing on the principles of negligence and the duty of care owed to consumers. The court emphasized that manufacturers must ensure that their products are safe and free from defects, and failure to do so can result in liability for damages. The appeals were dismissed, affirming the lower court's decisions that held the manufacturer liable for the defects in the products supplied.
