The judge heard arguments by both parties and fined the company. He also ordered the company to refund the passenger’s fare, Rs 200, as well as pay Rs 10,000 as the cost of the case. In another case, the court fined a biscuit company Rs 20,000 for selling biscuits in packets that weighed less than the printed quantity. staff report

Wow

It's nice to see companies are being held accountable for once. I'm glad that our customer service system in our country has improved. Before your complaints would go unanswered.

By the way business and services should treat their customers well. In this case, the Bus company should have turned on the AC, knowing Pakistan weather at this time of the year, and also knowing over heating is dangerous to the human body and can cause heat stroke.

Truly a dangerous practice of negligence.


Though on the good note, nice to see our judicial system at work and helping the people!

Yes, I've decided to start posting some good news about Pakistan. There are many misconceptions about Pakistan, even among Pakistanis themselves.
