About the course: Consumer protection law is an age old concept, but in the last few decades there has been a
significant development in this branch of law. Globalization, market-dominated economy, information revolution
and development of consumer consciousness to ensure maximum value for money are all responsible for the
phenomenal advancement in consumer law. The Indian legal framework on consumer protection has also undergone
a sea of change with the introduction of the Consumer Protection Act in 1986. After 25 years of incorporation this
legislation stands as a cornerstone in upholding the consumer rights and reducing their vulnerability by way of
