6-10 Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
Big Bazar, a department store, is a division of Pantaloon Retail. The store periodically frames different schemes to attract consumers and promote its business. In 2006, the store declared Republic Day as Mega Savings Day. Advertisements were issued stating that store commodities would be sold at lower-than-usual prices, which led to a consumer rush. As the day progressed, it became impossible to regulate customer movement. To restrict entry to legitimate purchasers, the store came up with a scheme of issuing an entry coupon of Rs 50. The value of the coupons could be adjusted against purchases made, and if a coupon was partially utilized, the balance amount was to be refunded. In all, 3,900 coupons worth Rs 50 each were issued. The government, through the weights and measures and consumer affairs department, filed a complaint before the district forum alleging that Big Bazar had adopted unfair and restrictive trade practices by collecting Rs 1,95,000 from the sale of the 3,900 coupons. The Forum observed that if the crowd was uncontrollable, the store should have called the police, but had no right to refuse entry or impose an entry fee. Upholding the Government’s contention, it directed Big Bazar to pay Rs1,95,000 along with 9% interest and Rs 10,000 towards mental agony and costs.
