Consumer laws govern the rights given to a “consumer” to protect him/her from being cheated by a manufacturer. Consumer protection laws are intended to guarantee fair trade competition and practices. A consumer is someone who procures goods or services for his/her use or ownership and not for resale or manufacturing. In order to provide simple, swift and inexpensive redressal of consumer disputes, the Consumer Protection Act envisages 3-tier quasi-judicial machinery at the National, State and District levels.
Consumer rights need to be protected against the marketing of goods and services, which are hazardous to life and property. Therefore, there is a growing need to prevent exploitation of consumer from these sales, manufacturing or unfair trade practices and our best advocates in Panchkula ensure the same.
