Indian Consumer Courts Award Compensation Over TV and Foldable Phone Warranty Disputes
Two consumer courts in India ruled in favor of buyers facing product defects and warranty claim denials. In Andhra Pradesh, a consumer was awarded Rs 2.86 lakh after insurers rejected a TV damage claim based on a video forensic report instead of physical inspection. In Kolkata, Samsung India was found deficient for denying warranty repair on a Galaxy Z Flip 3 foldable phone, with the court citing a US law firm's investigation into recurring screen defects and ordering replacement or refund with compensation.
