HC quashes 13-year case against man charged for Re 1 cold drink overcharge
A high court has quashed a criminal prosecution that had been running for 13 years against a man accused of overcharging a customer by just Re 1. The case stemmed from the sale of a 600-ml cold drink bottle at Rs 26, against its MRP of Rs 25.

The court found the prolonged prosecution unjustified given the trivial nature of the overcharge involved.
