Answer:
The Consumer Protection Act promises speedy disposal of consumer disputes. But in reality, it takes a few months to several years depending on the number of pending cases in the forum, notices sent to the opposite party, evidence produced and analyzed, replies submitted, number of hearings, etc. Simple cases like claims for refunds may get over quickly. But matters relating to builders, insurance companies, doctors, hospitals, or banks tend to take longer.
