I bought a defective phone in Sagar, how do I file a state consumer complaint?

Detailed Legal Analysis

You can file a state consumer complaint before the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission having jurisdiction over Sagar. Under Madhya Pradesh Rent Control Act 1960, a consumer must file within two years of the cause of action, with supporting documents like the bill and warranty card.

The Madhya Pradesh High Court has clarified that deficiency in service includes selling defective goods without proper after-sales support. You may claim replacement, refund, and compensation for mental harassment.

The fee structure depends on the claim value as prescribed under Madhya Pradesh Rent Control Act 1960. Alternatively, you can file online through the state consumer forum portal for faster processing.
