Yes, the hotel owner can be penalized under the Legal Metrology Act, 2009. Selling products above the MRP is illegal in India, and the owner can face fines and other legal repercussions. The act empowers authorities to take action against such violations.

A high-rise building in Thane, constructed in 1988 and registered as a CHS in 2000, received development permission from the Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC). An architect submitted revised plans in 2009, but the construction was completed without adhering to fire safety regulations. Despite this, the TMC issued an occupation certificate in March 2013 under the Development Control Regulations (DCR). The Fire Department, after inspecting the building, deemed it unsafe for habitation and urged the Additional Deputy Town Planner (ADTP) to take necessary action. The TMC Commissioner in Thane instructed the ADTP, but no investigation or report was filed. This raises concerns about violations of the Fire Act, MRTP, DCR, BMC Act, Mofa, and even consumer rights. The residents continue to pay property tax and water bills diligently. What action can be taken to address this situation?
