Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court ruled that promotional trailers do not constitute offers under contract law, as they are unilateral and do not create enforceable agreements. The Court held that the absence of a song featured in a promotional trailer does not amount to an unfair trade practice under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, as there was no contractual obligation established between the producer and the consumer. Consequently, the appeal was allowed, overturning the findings of the lower consumer forums regarding deficiency of service and unfair trade practices.
