It seems that the ongoing controversy over the controversial GO brought in by the state of Andhra Pradesh reducing the ticket rates is not going to end in the near future. It is known that the exhibitors from Andhra Pradesh approached the AP High Court against the government's GO a couple of days back and they got a breather when the High Court suspended the controversial GO allowing the theater owners to increase ticket rates for a few weeks.
However, their happiness seemed short-lived as the AP government approached the High Court against its order and today the High Court after hearing the counter filed by the government came with few strong decisions. The Judges who heard the arguments directed the AP government to set up a committee and then arrive at a decision over ticket prices. It also ordered the theatre owners to submit the theatre ticket prices proposal to the Joint collector.
The High Court said that the Joint Collector will decide on the ticket rates in the theatres in Andhra Pradesh. The High Court adjourned the case to next Monday.
