This theater was exempted from collecting / paying Entertainment Tax from June 24, 2005 to January 5, 2006 but still collected Rs 1.87 Crore as entertainment tax from customers and never deposited it with the government. This amounts to cheating customers big time.
When government demanded this money, the company said it will not deposit as it was exempted from this tax. "Ek to Chori upar se Seena jori"
The matter went to court and Adlabs has been finally ordered to pass on the money to some charity. But this is not enough. What adlabs has done is a corporate crime and economic fraud of a large scale and must be served an exemplary punishment.
All movie goers should boycott the whole chain of adlabs cinemas and bring it to its knees. Spread the word around.
