Question

What are consumer courts?

Answer 1

Consumer courts are established under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, at the district, state, and national levels. These courts protect consumer interests and redress grievances in a speedy, simple, and inexpensive way. They form a three-tier system: District Consumer Court, State Consumer Commission, and National Consumer Commission, each handling cases based on claim amounts. These courts aim to provide quick justice and reduce the burden on regular courts.
