Consumer Can Approach Consumer Forum Even If Agreement Provides For Arbitration : Supreme Court 24 Mar 2025

The Supreme Court recently upheld  that the arbitration clauses in an agreement would not override the consumer’consumer-jud.pdfs choice to approach the consumer forum for adjudication of the dispute.

The Court said that a consumer cannot be forced to get the dispute adjudicated through Arbitration just because an arbitration clause is mentioned in an agreement. It added that the consumer has the exclusive right to decide whether to pursue arbitration or approach the Consumer Forum.
