1998 (1) TMI 536 - SC - Indian Laws

Summary

The Supreme Court allowed the appeal, setting aside the judgment of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission and restoring the order of the State Commission. The National Commission's view that the Contract Act does not apply to complaints under the Consumer Protection Act was deemed erroneous. The respondent's complaint was found maintainable under Section 230 of the Contract Act. No costs were awarded.
