Sources from Hyderabad have stated that a case was registered against Sujana Forum Mall at KPH for collecting parking fee from the customers. Sources have stated that according to a complainant, Vijay Gopal, who went to the mall on September 30 and was charged Rs. 30 for parking his vehicle. Gopal raised objection over the charges as it is against Section 115 of the GHMC Act.
According to sources it was stated that he said that according to the act, any place built for public use, in this case, a commercial establishment, is considered as a public place. Moreover based on a complaint lodged by Vijay, the police registered a case against YS Chowdary, who is an MP and also the owner of the mall and three others.
Gopal said "People have all the right to park their vehicles without
paying any fees as per GHMC rules. But the owners of the malls are charging
high rates as parking fee".
