Telangana High Court Anger Over Movie Ticket Price Hike...

The Telangana High Court expressed strong displeasure over the repeated increase in cinema ticket prices. Questioning why ticket rates are being raised again and again, the court remarked that its earlier directions were being ignored. It also recalled that the minister had clearly stated that there would be no hike in ticket prices.

Despite this, the court questioned why memos were being issued to permit the increase in ticket rates. Expressing anger over what it termed as “clever” issuance of memos bypassing rules, the High Court warned that such practices would not be tolerated.
