All other cinema hall managements have to abide by the provisions of G.O. 35: HC
The Andhra Pradesh High Court has ruled that only those cinema hall managements that have filed a writ petition against G.O. 35 are allowed to increase the prices of tickets, while the remaining have to abide by the provisions of the G.O.
In the memo (No. 1579050/GENLA/2021) dated December 1, 2021, the government had banned the screening of special shows. Similarly, in G.O. 35 dated April 8, 2021, the government had prohibited collection of increased rates for movie tickets.
Hearing the review petition filed by the government on Thursday, a Division Bench of the High Court ruled that the relaxation in pricing of movie tickets would apply only to those managements that had filed writ petitions in the court against G.O. Ms. No 35.
