you can approach the consumer court only if there is a manufacturing defect in the car and if the car is giving low maintenance due to said defect then only you may be able to claim compensation secondly the mileage claimed by the manufacturers are ARAI certified claims, it is done under test conditions.

Yes, u can file a Consumer Complaint under Section 12 of Consumer Protection Act. If the cost of your car is below 20lakh than in District Consumer Forum, if it id more than 20 lakh and below 1 crore than before State Forum.

Yes, should you choose to file a consumer complaint, you may do so.
As regards precedents, there are quite a few.
One is given hereunder :
164.100.72.12 › ncdrcrep › judgement
Commissions and forums have been directing to undertake repairs and replace the defective part/s of the car.
However, if you could get an expert report from a Pvt. Or a government agency - mechanical department affirming that the mileage is low as compared to industry standards, then your claim of damage and refund, both should get through easily.
