Restaurant sued for ‘serving tainted food’
A consumer court on Saturday issued notices to the general manager and a waiter of a restaurant for December 13 in a lawsuit seeking payment of Rs500,000 allegedly for serving tainted food.
Petitioner Haider Ali submitted that he had found a cardboard chip, around three inches in length, in a chicken karahi he and his friends had ordered at a branch of Lahore Broast near Lahore General Hospital on October 24.
He said he had given the piece to the waiter who took it away saying that he would show it to the manager. However, he said, the waiter denied taking anything from him in front of the restaurant manager.
He said the manager refused to listen to his complaint and instead insulted him and his friends.
The petitioner said they later left the restaurant without finishing the food. He requested the court to direct the respondents to pay Rs500,000 in damages.
Talking to The Express Tribune, Muhammad Yousaf, the waiter who served them, rejected the suggestion that the food could have been tainted.
He said every once in a while there received customers who used such tactics to avoid paying for the food.
