Question

Answer 1

Right to choose 

In this case violation of the right to choose is being done here. The consumer is not allowed to choose the commodity that he is willing to buy and forcefully another good is being added to the purchase of the commodity. 

Any consumer who receives a service in whatever capacity, regardless of age, gender and nature of service, has the right to choose whether to continue to receive the service. The definition of Right to Choose as per the Consumer Protection Act 1986 is ‘the right to be assured, wherever possible, to have access to a mixture of goods and services at competitive prices’.
