As per the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, who is the Chairperson of the State Consumer Protection Councils ?
The Minister incharge of consumer affairs in the State Government
Section 7(2) of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 provides that the State Consumer Protection Council shall consist of the Minister in charge of consumer affairs in the State Government, who shall be its Chairman, and such number of other official or non-official members as may be prescribed.
The Central Consumer Protection Council under Section 4 is similarly chaired by the Union Minister in charge of consumer affairs; the same pattern continues under Section 6 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019 for State Councils.
A judge of the High Court heads the State Commission, the adjudicatory body under Section 16, not the Council, which is an advisory body to promote and protect consumer rights; the Chief Secretary is not named as its head.
Therefore the State Council is chaired by the State Minister in charge of consumer affairs.
Hence, The Minister incharge of consumer affairs in the State Government.
