Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The Consumer Protection Act 1986 is an act to protect the interests of consumers against malpractices and exploitation by sellers. The act grants the customers several rights: the right to seek redressal. The right to seek redressal enables the customers to seek compensation for the damage caused to them as a result of the unfair trade practices of the sellers. The compensation the court awards to the customers is the amount of damage caused to them, if measurable. If the damage amount cannot be quantitatively measured, the court will assess the damage severity and award such compensation as it deems fit.
