ONE PRODUCT ONE M.R.P ON PACKAGED PRODUCT :
Regarding this plea of the Consumer Dept. the top court has backed the Hotels . Kindly go through both the Attachments for your comments.
There have been several posts of complaints in the circle regarding the the overcharging by the estaurants and Hotels over the M.R.P. on packaged Mineral water and Soft drinks.
In the light of all that the following assurance from the Consumer Affairs Dept. was really heartening :
" A lot of the circle inputs have been included in these attached rules and with them the following becomes effective:
1) Every packaged product listed on eCommerce sites should disclose MRP to consumer
2) For all products of human consumption listed on eCommerce sites, a best before date becomes mandatory
3) All medical devices must have MRP on them
4) One product-One MRP : A product with one MRP if sold to an institutional channel but for end sales to retail customers cannot have a different MRP. "
But unfortunately the Supreme court has rejected the Governments plea that the Restaurants and the Hotels should be taken to task for charging in excess of M.R.P. for bottled mineral water. Attachment gives more details.
THE CASE SHOULD BE PROPERLY REPRESENTED BY THE GOVERNMENT IN THE COURT SO THAT THE CONSUMER GETS JUSTICE more

The government should immediately amend the relative law making the establishments of hotels & restaurants bound the Legal Metrology Act. Surprisingly, the Supreme Court's order in the matter has put a question mark towards our common belief that the Apex Court of the nation will always stand by the common men to protect their interests. more

The judge passing such an order must have his inputs right and such orders should have provisions in Law to be challenged by Consumers as in a country,firstly water is sold where MRP also has a handsome profit and now they say to take additional profits as with food water is a necessity. more

Private companies engage very senior advocates and they can over power Judges and hence many a time judgements are not proper. more

Have Patience and listen & Observe to the government policies and undue benefits to various lobbies. Still fight would continue for cancellation of such orders that may take time. more
