Karnataka HC stays govt order capping movie ticket prices at ₹200
The Karnataka High Court stayed enforcement of the Karnataka Cinemas (Regulation) (Amendment) Rules, 2025, which fixed a cap for movie ticket prices at Rs 200 across the state.
Justice Ravi V Hosmani granted the interim stay on Tuesday while hearing a petition filed by the Multiplex Association of India, along with other cinema stakeholders.
Appearing for the petitioners, Senior Advocate Mukul Rohatgi argued that the government had arbitrarily introduced a proviso under the Karnataka Cinemas (Regulation) Act to cap ticket prices.
