They are judiciary hearings found out by the govt to guard the consumers' rights. Its main function is to take care of the fair practices & contracts by sellers. Consumers can file a case against a seller if they're cheated or exploited by sellers. The court will only provides a verdict in favour of the consumers/customers if they need proof of exploitation, i.e., bills or purchase memos.
