NCDRC sets aside ruling on substandard zari in silk sarees
What happened
The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission set aside an order from the Tamil Nadu State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission that had dismissed two complaints. The complaints concerned allegedly substandard zari in silk sarees sold by the Thirubhuvanam Silk Handloom Weavers Co-operative Sale Society Ltd. The NCDRC remanded the cases for fresh consideration after a National Test House, Kolkata, report found the silver content was below applicable Bureau of Indian Standards specifications.
