Mumbai: While most of us usually shell out the steep asking price for snacks on board budget airlines, passenger Dr B V Jichkar decided he didn't like the idea of being ripped off.
Acting on his complaint, he state legal metrology department, for the first time ever, has registered a complaint against SpiceJet and the supplier Harish Company (Chennai) for supplying packaged snacks on board without a bill and with the maximum retail price (MRP) missing on the packet.
He gave the packets - two empty and one intact - as proof.
Ankush Dhanvijay, controller of the Legal Metrology Department, said SpiceJet and Harish Company had been served notices for violation of the provisions in Standard Weights & Measures (packaged items), Rules - 1977.
On September 18 and 20, while travelling to and from Delhi, Jichkar had purchased packets of roasted and salted cashew nuts on the flight. He was asked to pay Rs 30 per packet. When Jichkar did not find the MRP on the packet he asked for a bill against the purchase, which he was refused.
