The High Court has pulled up the Hotel InterContinental for charging exorbitant prices for soft drinks.
On Sunday (May 5), the bench of Justice Syed Refaat Ahmed and Justice Md Iqbal Kabir questioned how the 5-star hotel charges Tk 160 for a can of ‘Sprite’, which retails at Tk 40.
The authorities of hotel have been ordered to come up with an explanation by May 12.
The court’s order came after hearing a case filed under the Consumer Rights Protection Act filed by an individual seeking explanation over the hotel charging four times the retail price for a can of soft drink.
