Consumer Commissions Penalize Airline and Restaurant for Service Deficiencies
Two consumer disputes were addressed by Indian commissions involving service deficiencies. In Punjab, a foreign airline was ordered to pay Rs 50,000 after failing to provide milk to an 11-month-old baby and adequate meals during a 16-hour Delhi-Melbourne flight. Separately, a restaurant in Hathras was fined Rs 1 lakh for charging Rs 2 above the MRP on a water bottle, with additional compensation awarded to the complainant. Both rulings emphasized consumer rights and penalties for unfair trade practices.
