The Telangana High Court has banned minors under 16 from attending late-night movie shows after 11 PM until the government establishes regulations. This decision addresses concerns about children’s safety and well-being, especially following a tragic incident during a film screening. The court urged the government to consult stakeholders for appropriate guidelines.
The Telangana High Court ruled that consumer complaints on social media hold the same significance as formal complaints. Justice Moushumi Bhattacharya asserted that such grievances must be treated seriously. The ruling followed a case involving a caterer whose license was revoked due to multiple complaints, validating the importance of online feedback regarding service quality.
The Telangana High Court affirmed that social media complaints hold equal importance as formal complaints, dismissing a catering stall operator’s petition against his contract termination by South Central Railway. The operator faced numerous serious complaints about food quality and pricing, leading the court to conclude that his contract termination was justified due to repeated service deficiencies.
The Telangana High Court acquitted a man who was convicted by a trial court for raping a minor girl. The court cited the evidence of the child witness appearing to be tutored by elder family members as the reason for its decision. A Single judge bench comprising Justice K. Surender, observed: “The evidence of a child witness can easily be influenced by the elders in the family. Acceptance of the child witness evidence would be dangerous in the present circumstances of the case as the evidence appears to be a result of tutoring.”
