While not explicit in the Constitution, consumer rights connect to Article 21’s right to a dignified life and Article 38’s directive for social welfare. The Consumer Protection Act (CPA) sets up consumer courts (District, State, National Commissions). These quasi-judicial bodies handle grievances over defective goods, unfair trade practices, or deficient services. The Act fosters accountability for businesses, safeguarding citizens’ interests. In an era of e-commerce, the CPA 2019 update broadens coverage to online transactions. The right to be informed, choose, and seek redress highlights how governance ensures equitable market dynamics. Constitutional ethics guide the Act’s spirit—protection of the weaker party (consumers).
