6 years on, man to get back Rs 1.5 charged extra for imli

A customer in Vadodara sued a supermarket for charging above the MRP for a packet of tamarind. The Vadodara District Consumer Redressal Commission ruled in favor of the customer, ordering the supermarket to pay him the overcharged amount along with interest. The commission also directed the supermarket to deposit money in the consumer welfare fund and pay legal costs. The company argued that the price was based on the barcode scanner, but the forum sided with the customer. The ruling aims to discourage such irregularities in the future.
