CUTS International, a consumer advocacy group, will approach the Delhi high court to speak on behalf of consumers in a case against the National Anti-profiteering Authority.  

"CUTS will intervene in the matter in the High Court to defend consumers’ rights to be charged appropriate prices and support the Authority," its secretary general Pradeep S Mehta said.

Forty-odd companies have challenged the findings of NAA in the Delhi High Court and the court has clubbed these petitions to hear them as one in November. 

Mehta termed these petitions as unfair. 

He expressed deep concern over the benefits of tax rate reduction
