Supreme Court asks Centre, States to fill up vacancies in consumer dispute bodies in eight weeks
The Hindu
Court asks if Centre and States had deliberately kept vacancies pending to dissuade people from filing complaints.
The Supreme Court on Wednesday gave the Centre and the States eight weeks to fill up the vacancies in the National and States’ Consumer Disputes Redressal Commissions. “Is there some ‘muhurrat’ required for taking steps? States are defeating the purpose for which the consumer protection laws have been made... they have been made for the benefit of people,” Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul, heading a Bench, also comprising Justice Hrishikesh Roy, said.More Related News
