1 litre water costs rs 30/-

I have been charged Rs 30 for 1 litre drinking water in the Cinema Theatre Complex, while the printed MRP was Rs 20 only .
Its also the same in the case of every product that we purchase from theatre Complex. I would be gratified if i am aware of the legality in these 'overpricing'.

Can i have some expert opinions on this issue and possibility of legal actions.

The following decision of NCDRC can be helpful..... THE complaint under Legal Metrology can be more rewarding.

Thank you Mr Kumar for a useful link in this regard.
At present i don't have a bill, but in a day or two i am going back to the same place for arising my queries.
It is to be surprisingly noted that no one is aware of the exploitation taking place or else they are not ready to raise their voice.

And what if they wont give me bill, as it is not a common practice to bill.
Kindly note its is similar to a 'Tea Shop'

The onus to provide evidence may fall upon you. You may have to do the needful to record the Declinature to give Bill by shopkeepers, Declinature by Manager, management, to capture stance of the management that the commodity shall be sold @ Rs...only.. Alternatively you can take the Inspector appointed under Legal Metrology, Food Inspector, NGO,media etc and they can write their reports... You should avoid altercation leading to unpleasant situations...
