Premature Consumer Complaint Dismissed for Lack of Evidence & Construction Non-Completion: WB SCDRC | Deficiency in Service Claims Must Await Project Completion Under Consumer Protection Act

The West Bengal State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission dismissed a complaint for deficiency in service, ruling that filing before construction completion is premature and lacks reliable evidence. The ruling underscores that consumer claims under the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, must be substantiated with proof of actual deficiency, not speculative measurements or premature allegations.
