My building permit was revoked by the Nagar Palika after 5 years, despite having been granted initially. I’ve filed a case in consumer court seeking compensation for the delay and for the re-issuance of the permit. Can the consumer court order the Nagar Palika to reinstate my building permit? If so, under which legal section?

The consumer court can’t directly order the Nagar Palika to reinstate your building permit. It can only direct the Nagar Palika to consider your application afresh, taking into account the circumstances and applicable laws. This falls under the consumer court’s jurisdiction to provide redress for deficiency in services and unfair trade practices.
