Complainant No Longer Remains 'Consumer' If Product In Dispute Is Sold Off: West Delhi District Commission

The West Delhi District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission ruled that once a complainant sells off the disputed product, they lose their status as a "consumer" under the Consumer Protection Act. In this case, the complainant had sold the car that was initially the subject of the dispute. Consequently, they could no longer seek relief under consumer law, emphasizing that ownership and continued usage of the product are prerequisites for maintaining consumer rights.
