The Delhi High Court directed NGO Kutumb to submit a fresh plea for a court-monitored investigation into the July 4 fire at Vishal Mega Mart in Karol Bagh that resulted in two deaths. The court distinguished this case from a separate flooding incident, emphasizing the need for distinct legal handling and accountability in fire safety measures.
The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission in Lucknow ruled against Vishal Mega Mart for unfair trade practices after they charged a customer Rs. 18 for a carry bag without consent. The store must refund the amount, pay interest, and compensate the customer for harassment, highlighting the importance of customer approval in such charges.
