Conclusion
The Consumer Protection Act, 1986 (in short, the Act), is
a benevolent social legislation that lays down the rights of the
consumers and provides their for promotion and protection of
the rights of the consumers. By spelling out the rights and
remedies of the consumers in a market so far dominated by
organized manufacturers and traders of goods and providers of
various types of services, the Act makes the dictum, caveat
emptor (buyer beware) a thing of the past. The Act mandates
establishment of Consumer Protection Councils at the Centre
as well as in each State and District, with a view to promoting
consumer awareness.
