Legal Question in Consumer Law in India
In a recent case State Commission Consumer Forum had set aside an order of a lower court that considered one citizen as a consumer in the ambit provisos of Consumer Act in allowing a case on some irregularities in collection of Tax by municipalities. The order of the State Forum seems in order.
I have seen Commissions coming heavily on municipality/corporation on deficiency of services when challenged by citizen forums.
Can I take the citizens will be considered as consumer if what is given monetarily or otherwise by them is for return of specific service expected to be rendered by the statutory authorities like corporations ? My case is coming for hearing on similar lines

Most judgments of superior courts have upheld parties in such cases are not consumers.
