A Single Piece of Legislation on Consumer Protection in Pakistan is a Matter of Urgency: A Lesson from India
Abstract
This study is based on doctrinal research and aims to convince the government that a single legislation on consumer protection is essential in the context of Pakistan. Legislation on consumer protection in Pakistan is fragmented. Each province has its own law and the federal capital Islamabad has its own law. In the absence of single consumer protection legislation in Pakistan, a citizen of Pakistan who travels from one place to another place and buys a service or product from there and if the service is faulty or the product is defective, first he has to see in which province he stands and under which law he will get justice. With this in mind, this topic becomes very important. Moreover, the law of one province is different from the law of another province. This study examines the points where the law of one province differs from the law of another province. At the same time, the study provides an in-depth analysis of Indian law on consumer protection and concludes that there is an urgent need for single consumer protection legislation for the whole of Pakistan in the style of India in order to get the consumer of this country out of this confusion
