Generally the excuse for less govt control is insufficient manpower. We may take help of voluntary organizations or individual volunteers like Mr Shankar saran. With their experience and knowledge , they will be helpful to departments. Data from consumer court can be taken to inspect. After all these things, the final say will be the regular staff only. They need not loose their authority.Where there is a will there is a way. more

Take it from me-- ALL businesses are cheats! They always find dishonest means to become rich. I have filed some 27 consumer cases in the last 4 years for various types of unfair trade practices and deficiency in service. I won some 9 out-of-court; 12 in the court ; 4 are under appeal in the Commission, and 2 were filed just a week back. The reason is that our Consumer Protection Act 1986 is NOT being implemented strictly and the courts are not awarding high compensation and costs to the complainants. Even when the judgement debtors do not pay the cost and compensation during the 60 days period, the court does not penalise the JDR under Sec. 27 of the C.P. Act 1986. Several times I pleaded with the Bench that not penalising the JDR and not invoking Sec. 27 is harmful to the Complainant and causes great misery to the complainant, instead of punishing the JDR. The Execution Applications only increase the workload of the court. Regrettably, it never found acceptance by the Bench. I am very disappointed with such a state of the law in our country. I wrote to the Law Minister about a year back. I have yet to see what he does to overcome such harassment by the defaulting parties. There is no sense in awarding some Rs 3,000/Rs 4,000 cost and compensation (which are peanuts!) after some 12 hearings and then again attending 6-9 hearings in the E.A. The whole purpose of the C.P. Act 1986 to discourage merchants from cheating customers is defeated. It is the customer who is harassed and the defaulting parties enjoy seeing the complainants suffer to no end! more

With your so much experience I seek your views is it not because the consumer Forum are presided by retired judges. They carry on their proceedings as per mind set developed by them in their civil/ criminal courts. more

I refrain from online shopping of the stores. I go to the brick and mortar stores, and if I find they are charging GST over discounted price, I refuse to buy that item. Government control is non existent in our country. more

It is a matter of great pleasure that Controller LM, Jammu and Kashmir has joined the circle and hope that some good measures would be placed in the system. One of the concern is that all big brands like Lifestyle, Shoppers Stop, Pantaloons are charging GST on discounted revised sale prices which are not chargeable. National Commission has also adjudicated on the matter and termed it as unfair trade practice. These brands are nation wide and hence their presence must be in the State of J&K and must be adapting to similar practices. My appeal to you is to kindly check whether such practices are in your State and if so take some action against them suo-motto as due to lack in awareness, the cases may not be getting reported. Please advise me in case you need any additional details. more
