Consumer Protection Act 1986 and Rules

Consumer Protection Act, 1986 & Rules (Marathi) by Adv. Abhaya Shelkar is a concise, practice-oriented commentary designed to equip Marathi readers with the knowledge and tools needed to enforce consumer rights. The volume sets out the statutory provisions and implementing rules, explains essential concepts such as ‘defect’, ‘deficiency’, ‘unfair trade practice’, and clarifies the jurisdictional framework and timelines of district, state and national consumer fora. Each chapter translates legal provisions into step-by-step procedures for filing complaints, seeking interim reliefs, adducing evidence (including expert reports), and quantifying damages. Practical features include model plaints, sample petitions for interim relief, checklists to prepare evidence, and short case-law notes illustrating judicial reasoning on key issues like product liability, service negligence, and limitation. Written in clear Marathi, the book is aimed at consumers, legal practitioners, NGO workers and consumer awareness educators who require a no-nonsense manual for dispute resolution under the Consumer Protection regime. By pairing doctrinal clarity with field-ready templates, this edition helps reduce procedural errors, speeds up case framing, and increases chances of successful redress for aggrieved consumers.
