Directions (Q. 21-30): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
Certain words/ phrases in the passage are printed in bold to help you locate them while answering
some of the questions. In a country where consumers have traditionally had a raw deal, the
Consumer Protection Act was one of the most progressive acts of legislation introduced in 1986.
Before this, a shop could get away easily with the line goods once sold will not be taken back or
exchanged or a car parking contractor with park at your own risk. It is not that things have
changed now but at least a legislation is in place and a forum is available to seek redressal. One of
the basic limitations of this act is its mystification and general ignorance. No consumer agency or
group has made its provisions general, nor has any redressal commission or forum. Restricted as it is
by a lack of infrastructure and personnel and great verdicts to encourage consumers. The legislation
is comprehensive. It gives consumers the right to redress against defective goods, deficient services
and unfair trade practices. Consumer courts must deliver their judgments within 40 days, but rarely
is this deadline adhered to. This reviewer had a first-hand experience of the chairman of a consumer
court in Delhi who adjourned a case against a foreign airline for two years on the grounds that he
did not have staff to type the orders. His replacement found the backlog so shocking that he
dismissed several cases without applying his mind, in the process working against the interests of
consumers. But what is more important is that the law has it that a consumer can approach court on
his own without having to pay legal fees. In practice, this does not happen. The chairperson of the
National Commission, who is a sitting judge, is so attuned to delivering judgments which can stand
scrutiny in a civil court of law that it is insisted upon that a consumer must be represented by a
lawyer. If not, cases are adjourned with impunity and set for another day. Girimajis attempt is
creditable in that it is the first of its kind and has addressed almost all possible angles. She has
discussed redressals in complaints about housing, basic telephony, rail transportation, power supply,
life insurance and medical negligence. There are even tips on how to file a complaint. But it is mired
in the case files of the National/State Commissions of the Consumer Forum. A useful dimension
would have been a comparison with the Law of Torts practiced abroad. It is necessary here also,
especially in an era of economic liberalization, when the consumer is likely to be swept off his feet by
free-market forces.
