Question:

Himani went to buy a gas stove from the market. While asking the price of the stove from the shopkeeper, he forced Himani to buy a crockery set. He said, "No madam, you HAVE to buy a crockery set in order to take stove home". According to you, which of the following consumer right is being denied from Himani?

Options:

Right to information

Right to safety

Right to choose

Right to seek redressal 

Correct Answer:

Right to choose

Explanation:

The "Right to choose" means that it is the right of the consumer whether to buy or to not buy a commodity. Suppose you want to buy toothpaste, and the shop owner says that she can sell the toothpaste only if you buy a toothbrush. If you are not interested in buying the brush, your right to choice is denied. In this way many a times you are forced to buy things that you may not wish to and you are left with no choice. In the above situation also, Himani was forced to buy a crockery set which she was not willing to, thus, her right to choice is denied.
