Unfair trade risking public

yes you can file a case against them and also send a complaint to IMC too and too WHO

I am afraid that there is no consideration, as you have secured a refund. and District Forum may not admit the complaint. 

I think that this is a fit case for lodging a police complaint. The company or the supplier who has put the product on sale on E platform are answerable for non compliance with the standards prescribed for the product, thereby violating the standards prescribed by IMA.

Sir,

Which Court? Consumer Court or Civil Court or Criminal Complaint or a PIL in High Court.

As I have done some more research, there are few other online and offline platforms which are doing this.

If you  are not willing to accept the refund of cost of the product then you may decide to approach consumer forum, however you have to decide about what relief that you seek by approaching the legal forum.

You found that the product is sub-standard, then as an individual buyer you may make a complaint to the supplier about this and get a replacement of the proper product which conforms the standards set out for this product as per rules.

As a matter of fact the company is ready to refund the cost, then you may not have a chance or a reason to approach court also in this regard.

If it is a general complaint about the fraud played by the company by selling the sub standard product with false and fake advertisement  to promote their sales, then you may have to find out similar buyers who were victimised by this company, which would  be a difficult process since it is a ecommerce purchase.

Then also you have to file a PIL only against the company for selling the substandard products and pray for abandoning the company until it rectifies the defects pointed out. 

Therefore as per your contents, neither a complaint before the consumer forum nor a lawsuit before a civil court would be maintainable.

Now as per Medical Associations there is a set standards which should be followed, but the received product doesn't met any of the standards. On asking the E-Commerce helpdesk, first they refused as "no return and no exchange" policy due to COVID. But later agreed to refund the full amount paid by me. The issue of wrong publicity and unfair trade practice is still active on their end. Can I file consumer complaint on this ground alone? Can a case of copyright and risking life of public be also filed in Civil/Criminal Court? My concern is public safety as a whole.

You should file a consumer dispute before appropriate commission if it is not a fabricated post.

What is infringement of copyright ?

What else is there in your mind, discuss with your professor / guide / tutor as this platform is meant for needy litigants.
