"A consumer can not claim damages for the loss suffered due to his own negligence" is true according to which of the underlying principle?

Caveat Emptor

The correct answer is Option (2) → Caveat Emptor

Caveat Emptor, which translates to "let the buyer beware," is a legal principle that places the responsibility on consumers to be aware of the quality and suitability of the goods they purchase. Under this principle, if a consumer suffers a loss due to their own negligence—such as failing to inspect a product or not exercising reasonable care—they cannot claim damages from the seller or manufacturer. This principle emphasizes that consumers must take responsibility for their own actions and decisions in a transaction.

The other options do not apply in this context:

• Per Incuriam: Refers to a decision that is made without considering previous case law.
• Ejusdem Generis: A rule of statutory interpretation meaning "of the same kind."
• Obiter Dicta: Refers to remarks made by a judge that are not essential to the decision and therefore not legally binding.
