Question and options

Apart from the opposite party’s place of business or residence and the place where the cause of action arose, which connection allows a complaint in a District Commission under Section 34(2) of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019?

  1. The complainant’s advocate ordinarily practises there

  2. The complainant owns immovable property in that district

  3. The complainant’s consumer association is registered there

  4. The complainant resides or personally works for gain there

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D - The complainant resides or personally works for gain there

Section 34(2)(d) of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 lets a complaint be filed in the District Commission within whose limits the complainant resides or personally works for gain. Owning property, the advocate’s place of practice or an association’s registration does not by itself confer territorial jurisdiction.
