Model Answer

The case should be filed at the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.

Under COPRA, the State Commission handles cases involving claims between Rs 1 crore and Rs 10 crore. Since the compensation claimed is Rs 8 crore, which falls within this range, the State Commission is the appropriate level.

Explanation

The key fact to remember is the three-tier jurisdiction under COPRA:

Rs 8 crore clearly falls in the State Commission's range. Examiners expect you to name the correct level AND state the monetary jurisdiction as the reason — both parts are needed for full marks.
