The Bombay High Court today disposed of a PIL that sought the establishment of the District Consumer Forum in the Palghar District, noting that the Consumer Forum has already been set up by the State government.
During the hearing, the State counsel submitted that as per a government notification of 04 February 2025, the District Consumer Forum has already been established at Palghar. The counsel further submitted that a notification dated 10 February 2025 has been issued by the government to determine the staffing pattern of the consumer forum.
