Consumer Court is a special purpose court in India that deals with cases

regarding consumer disputes, conflicts and grievances. They are judiciary hearings set
up by the government to protect the consumers' rights. Its main function is to maintain
the fair practices & contracts by sellers. Consumers can file a case against a seller if
they are cheated or exploited by sellers. The court will only give a verdict in favour of
the consumers/customers if they have proof of exploitation like bills or purchase
memos and the like. If a consumer does not have the proper documents required for
filing a case then it would be very difficult for the consumer to win or even file a
case.1
