Justice Ranjitsinha Raja Bhonsale of Bombay High Court in a recent judgement quashed a 13-year-long criminal case against Mr Narvekar, a resident of Tal. Lanja, District Ratnagiri. He was accused of selling a 600-ml Pepsi bottle for Rs 26 when the MRP was Rs 25, while working in his wife’s shop. So he was basically accused of overcharging the Pepsi bottle by Re 1.
The high court pointed out that the criminal case against Mr Narvekar for overcharging a Pepsi bottle by Re 1 was wholly misconceived and misdirected as he merely prepared the bill, and the actual sale was conducted by his wife, the shop owner.
