Question:

Read the following and answer question.

Athary gifted a gold bangle worth ₹70,000 to his sister at her marriage. After sometime the bangle lost its shine and the mix of copper within can be seen. His sister asked him if he had checked the quality mark while purchasing it, which he had not. But he definitely took the bill of his purchase. When he complained about it to the jeweller, he did not take any corrective measure, rather said that it was not bought from his shop. Athary decided to file a complaint in the consumer court.

Atharv can file a complaint :

Options:

Supreme Court

National Commission

District Forum

State Commission

Correct Answer:

District Forum

Explanation:

The correct answer is option (3)- District Forum.

Atharv can file a complaint in the District Forum.

The District Forum is the appropriate consumer redressal forum for complaints related to goods or services with a value of up to ₹1 crore. Since the value of the gold bangle is ₹70,000, it falls under the jurisdiction of the District Forum, which is the lowest level in the consumer dispute redressal system.
