💨 Abstract

The Calcutta High Court ruled that a consumer forum cannot issue a warrant of arrest in an execution proceeding, only ordering detention in civil prison. The court quashed a warrant of arrest issued against a petitioner, stating that it was outside the scope of the Consumer Protection Act. The case arose from a loan agreement for a tractor in 2013, where the borrower failed to pay Rs 25,716 to the finance company.
