Protection of Consumer Rights and Superior Judiciary of Pakistan
In any society, consumers are the backbone of the business. No business can be imagined without the existence of a consumer. This gives a good idea of the importance of the consumer and his rights. The protection of consumer rights is considered a sign of the superiority of the economic system of any society. The role of the superior judiciary in protecting consumer rights in any economic system cannot be underestimated as its decisions apply not only to the lower courts but to society as a whole. This study examines the role of Pakistans superior judiciary in protecting consumer rights and concludes that the superior judiciary of Pakistan has always played an important role in protecting the consumer, and only by implementing the decisions of the superior judiciary a better economic system can be created in which the rights of the consumer are fully protected.
