[Resolved]  Share Auto — Excess fare

Address:

Chennai, Tamil Nadu

As I take the share autos frequently, I know the rates of the various stages. Guindy to Ashok Pillar-Rs.7, Pillar to Vadapalani-Rs.5 and if I get a direct auto from Guindy to Vadapalai, it is Rs.10.
I had this boarded into one auto last week. There were other passengers who boarded at Guindy(the same point from where I boarded). The stage from Guindy to Pillar is considered as one. So anyone who boards and gets down anywhere before Pillar has to pay Rs.7. There were 3 people who got down at the same stop. They asked how much ? The auto vala replied 8 each to two of them. The two people gave him the money and walked away. The third person did not notice this . He handed over a 20 rupee note to the auro vala and he got 10 Rs in return. He didnt complain either. I wondered what is wrong with the auto vala ad moreover, these people.They are not even arguing. I knew that my turn to get down would soon come. I took the chaneg of 10Rs and was ready to get down at my stop. On giving the 10 Rs, the auto vala told me tht its 15 Rs. i told him that I travel regularly and I know the price. He said that he charges Rs.15 everyday. I told him that he is not being honest, gave him the Rs.15 and walked off. He kept on following me to justify that his price is right. I didnt want to start an altercation. I silently noted down the auto number. TN02 AR 3954... Is there any law to prosecute such auto valas? This is not the first time I experienced such a situation.
