Appeals Against NCDRC Orders: The Supreme Court as the Final Arbitrator

The Consumer Protection Act, 1986, provides a hierarchical structure for resolving consumer disputes, culminating in the Supreme Court as the final appellate authority.

Appealing NCDRC Orders:

• Time Limit: Any person aggrieved by an order of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) can file an appeal in the Supreme Court within 30 days of the order.
• Condonation of Delay: The Supreme Court may condone delays in filing the appeal if sufficient cause is shown.

The Supreme Court’s Role:

• Review of NCDRC Orders: The Supreme Court has the power to review the decisions of the NCDRC on both facts and law.
• Ensuring Consistency: The Supreme Court plays a crucial role in ensuring consistency in the interpretation and application of consumer protection laws.
• Setting Precedents: The decisions of the Supreme Court on consumer matters set important precedents that guide future cases.
