Social Science (087) — AI-generated practice question

The coaching institute's action violates the Right to Choose. According to this right, any consumer who receives a service has the right to choose whether to continue receiving that service or not.

In the case of Abirami (Chapter 5), a student who left her coaching course midway was denied a fee refund. The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission ruled in her favour, directing the institute to refund the unused portion of fees, clearly establishing that forcing a consumer to pay for a service she no longer wishes to avail denies her right to choose.

• The key consumer right here is Right to Choose — not Right to Redressal (that's about compensation).
• Examiners expect you to name the right correctly, then explain why it is violated using the textbook example of Abirami.
• Mention the Commission's verdict briefly — it shows the legal backing and earns the third mark.
• Avoid confusing this with Right to be Informed or Right to Redressal.
