Hyderabad, Jan. 28 -- The Telangana High Court on Tuesday, January 27, clarified that disputes relating to the increase in cinema ticket prices should be adjudicated by a single judge.

The observation came while a division bench comprising Chief Justice Aparesh Kumar Singh and Justice GM Mohiuddin was hearing an appeal filed by Shine Screens India Private Limited LLP.

The appeal challenged the earlier orders of a single judge, who had quashed a government memo permitting an increase in ticket prices for the films Mana Shankara Varaprasad Garu and Rajasaab.

The single judge had also directed the authorities to announce any future decision on ticket price hikes at least 90 days in advance.

Grievances should be raised before single judge...
