Meta Platforms has approached the Delhi High Court challenging a Central Consumer Protection Authority order fining Facebook Rs 10,000 over Marketplace listings of regulated items like walkie-talkies and directing stricter compliance measures.
The Central Consumer Protection Authority imposed a Rs 15 lakh penalty on Delhi coaching institute Vajirao & Reddy for misleading advertisements on UPSC CSE 2023 results. Chief Commissioner Nidhi Khare held the claims exaggerated student success, violating the Consumer Protection Act, 2019.
The Supreme Court has ruled that consumer forums can enforce all their orders like civil court decrees, ending an 18-year gap caused by a 2002 amendment. The judgment ensures consumers get real justice and not just “paper victories.”
