Fill vacancies in consumer courts, HC tells Delhi govt.

It also asks for providing basic amenities

The Delhi High Court has directed the AAP government to immediately fill vacancies in consumer courts in the Capital while noting that there is a huge backlog of cases.

It also asked the government to provide basic infrastructure such as laptops, computers, toilet and water facilities, refrigerator, etc.

Consumer courts were established under the Consumer Protection Act to deal with consumer disputes, conflicts and grievances. They were envisaged to offer ordinary consumers a less expensive and often speedy redressal of their grievances.
