CS Executive · Economic, Commercial and Intellectual Property Laws · Law relating to Consumer Protection

The Karnataka State Consumer Protection Council has held only one meeting in a year, citing the absence of urgent business. Under the Act, what is the position?

The Council is not compliant. Although the State Council meets as and when necessary, the Act requires that not less than two meetings be held every year. A single meeting breaches this minimum, and there is no quarterly requirement.

  1. ACompliant, because meetings are held only when the Chairperson considers necessary
  2. BCompliant, because only the Central Council must meet twice a year
  3. CNot compliant, because at least two meetings must be held every yearCorrect
  4. DNot compliant, because it must meet at least once every quarter

Explanation

The State Council meets as and when necessary, but not less than two meetings must be held every year. One meeting therefore falls short. The quarterly requirement is not in the Act.
