A State Government in India wants two separate forums to hear consumer complaints in a populous district, Pune. Under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, which statement is correct?
The State Government may establish more than one District Commission in a district if it deems fit. The Act requires at least one District Commission in each district, and the proviso to Section 28 allows additional ones, without any approval from the Centre or National Commission.
- AIt may establish more than one District Commission in that district if it deems fitCorrect
- BIt must establish exactly one District Commission per district and no more
- COnly the Central Government can establish additional District Commissions
- DA second District Commission can be set up only with approval of the National Commission
Explanation
Section 28 requires the State Government to establish a District Commission in each district, but the proviso lets it establish more than one in a district if it deems fit. The option saying exactly one is wrong because of this proviso. The Central Government and National Commission have no role in this step.
