this is not that small an issue….
in a day around 10000 cars will come to the station…. figuratively speaking…thatz like a huge increase in profit …HARAM profit….

itz a good thing they raised this topic here….

i would like to point out an incident that took place at the CNG station at sunset bulvd. opposite to altamsh hospital…..
the guy charged the person in the car in front of me 290 rupees…..the guy in the car was least bothered to check the meter… when my turn came.. i woz a little occupied on the phone…. otherwise i always get out of the car to see what they are doing….
this time…after the cng was filled up he comes up and says itz 290… now i just said for the sake of making conversation that do u guyz have fixed rates?
the guy gets nervous and says sorry…itz 250 sir…
now i get suspicious… i got out of the car… and looked at the meter… it read 235!!!!….
my dad in the car exploded at the people…..demanded to cal the supervisor….
the supervisor came… scolded the guy and asked him to leave right there and then…
the very next day the guy woz at the station again :S…

now if u see…10000 cars at a station in a day…. 50 rupees from atleast a 1000 of the people who dont look at the meter means these people rip off 50000 above their prices EVERY DAY!!!

And a few paisas doesnt make a difference for us when we're spending 200-300 rupees on fuel ..

Although there(s) a chance you can name the owners of the car-park if (God-Forbids) your vehicle is stolen (in following cases): i) The owner of the car park advertises that he / she is taking responsibility of your vehicle for the certain amount of time – your facile is parked. ii) The owners are involved in stealing or counterfeiting your vehicle. As to there rationale of ‘asking money’ for parking – they are bound as per municipality act to charge you for space not give you security. Unfortunately, this is a common practice even at the most advance countries (UK being one) although due to CCTV – there(s) virtually no crime inside the specially designated parking areas. faylasuf, cheers for your advice.. regards, Barrister Ali K.Chishti @kar_munib,

Do let me know what the LAW says and i would be thankful to you if you can quote the exact statement from the book:- When we part our car in a parking done they charge us 10,15,20 rupee and give us a small chitti but at the back of it they mention that THEY ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR CAR (being parked in their parking zone). If you ask them that for what they are taking the money for, they say its for the SPACE/PLACE for the car to be parked. Does law allows any such provision ? If they are correct then why not we park anywhere outside the parking zone and be responsible for our car's safety anyhow because they are absolving themselves of the responsibility anyway?
