The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission in Coimbatore has directed a restaurant to discontinue the practice of displaying its logo or name on packing materials or container, for which charges are being collected from consumers.
The Commission gave the direction last month, after hearing a petition filed by S. Sheik Mohammed of Siddhapudur in Coimbatore, who had purchased cashew fried rice as parcel from Shree Anandhaas (a unit of Ratnaa Shree Anandhaas Hotels Pvt Ltd) restaurant at Vadavalli on Maruthamalai Road on August 18 last year.
As per the bill, ₹165 was charged for the fried rice, ₹5.71 for the packing materials, ₹4.14 each under CGST and SGST, totalling ₹174.
