Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

For the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission established under Section 28 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 (formerly the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum under Section 10 of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986), the tenure of the President and members is a term of five years or up to the age of 65 years, whichever is earlier. In Ganeshkumar Rajeshwarrao Selukar v. Mahendra Bhaskar Limaye, 2025 INSC 752, the Supreme Court struck down Rule 10(2) of the Consumer Protection (Qualification for appointment, method of recruitment, procedure of appointment, term of office, resignation and removal of the President and members of the State Commission and District Commission) Rules, 2020 to the extent it had reduced the tenure to four years, and mandated a five-year term subject to the upper age limit of 65 years.
