JAMMU, Oct 17: Legal Metrology Department (LMD) today booked a children garment store M/s Lilliput World for deceiving customers.
Manoj Prabhakar, Deputy Controller, Legal Metrology Department (LMD) said that, on the complaints of customers about use of self made stickers for declaring mandatory declarations like MRP, PKD, address of manufacturer/importer and consumer helpline numbers on the ready made garments, a team of Legal Metrology Department conducted a detailed survey of M/s Lilliput World at Residency road.
Parbhakar said that the team found that the said manufacturer has smudged the price of ready garments by affixing enhanced MRP upto 100 per cent on the old MRP and luring the consumers with 50 per cent sales.
He said, the consumers were made to pay the exact old price as was already marked by the company and left with the impression that the said store has been giving 50 per cent discount as a sale offer.
“Inspector Pooja seized the deceptive articles, booked the company under the relevant provisions of the Act and directions were issued not to expose all the children clothes, which are under dispute to the consumers for sale”, Prabhakar added.
The survey was conducted in pursuance to one of the decisions of District Consumer Protection Council held under the Chairmanship of Sanjeev Verma, Deputy Commissioner, Jammu, he informed.
