Manusmriti is also called the Manava-Dharmasastra or Laws of Manu and is considered to be a treatise and a prominent source describing various theories of statecraft duties, rights, laws, conduct, virtues and other subjects in ancient society. Though its primary concern is with matters of practical administration, consumers' protection occupies a prominent place in Arthashastra. It describes the role of the state in regulating trade and its duty to prevent crimes against consumers. However, it is rightly said that the present day concern for consumer rights is not new and that Consumer's rights like the right to have safe, unadulterated and defect-free commodities at appropriate prices has been recognized since ancient times. In ancient India, effective measures were initiated to protect consumers from crimes in the market place. Ancient law givers ably described various kinds of unfair trade practices and also prescribed severe punishments for wrong doers. In medieval period, some rulers developed well organised market mechanisms to monitor prices and the supply of goods to the markets. During the British period, the modern legal system was introduced in India and many laws were enacted to protect the consumers rights. But, when it comes to consumers rights only one thing strucks to our mind is redressal of their grievances. Consumer if face issues relating to any unfair trade practice or deficiency in service he tries his best to overcome on his own at initial stage, but when he fails to get any outcome he knocks the doors of Judiciary.
