Question:

According to you, which of the following is the correct hierarchy in the judicial machinery under COPRA i.e. Consumer Protection Act.  

Options:

District forums < State forums < National forums

State forums < District forums < National forums

National forums < State forums < District forums

State forums < National forums < District forums

Correct Answer:

District forums < State forums < National forums

Explanation:

Under COPRA, a three-tier Quasi judicial machinery at the district, state and national levels was set up for redressal of consumer disputes. The district-level authority called District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission deals with the cases involving claims up to Rs 1 crore, the state-level Consumer Disputes Redressal Commissions called State Commission between Rs 1 crore and Rs 10 crore and the national-level commission — National Commission — deals with cases involving claims exceeding Rs 10 crore. Thus, option 1 i.e. District forums < State forums < National forums is the correct answer.
