Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the appeal regarding the quantum of compensation awarded to M/s Bawa Paulins Pvt. Ltd. by the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission. The court found that the National Commission had unjustly reduced the compensation from Rs. 13,79,901 to Rs. 10,000, which was deemed inadequate. Consequently, the court reinstated the higher compensation amount awarded by the State Commission, emphasizing the need for fair compensation in consumer disputes.
