‘Consumer Affairs raids Malda markets to check malpractices; Complaints were received that soft drinks were being sold at a higher price…’

(i) The consumer right violated in the instance of selling soft drinks at a higher price is the ‘Right to Fair and Transparent Trade Practices’. Charging an inflated price for soft drinks breaches this right, ensuring fair trade practices for consumers.

(ii) The likely invoked consumer right in response to the complaints is the ‘Right to Seek Redressal’. This empowers consumers to seek remedy against unfair trade practices. The complaint prompted authorities to take action, demonstrating the exercise of this consumer right.
