A shift in the time period of India from ancient to medieval resulted in a focus on Islam as a religion and the laws of Islam. The Holy Quran, the main text of the Muslims, also stressed the protection of consumers.The Quran has verses that indicate that the use of unjust weights and measures is unacceptable. During the period of the Sultanate, local conditions determined the price of commodities.[2] Hence, both the Hindu and the Muslim scriptures that were being used together by the kings of different states of India promoted consumer protection.
Like the Hindu texts, the Quran also contained various rules and regulations for protecting consumers from the unfair and unjust malpractices indulged in by sellers.During the rule of Alauddin Khalji, the market had been controlled by various injunctions and prescriptions. The king fixed prices of the grains. There was a strict price control mechanism implemented in the market. Different shopping areas were established for different goods, namely
Grains
Cloth, sugar, butter, oil and so on
Horses, slaves and cattle
Miscellaneous commodities.
Shopkeepers were also punished for under weighing their goods.
