The Court of Appeal was today (06) informed that the Consumer Affairs Authority (CAA) has issued a gazette notification, imposing a new control price for eggs.

This was informed after the petition filed by egg producers was taken up today. The petition called to revoke the gazette notification imposing a MRP on eggs last August.

The Additional Solicitor General stated to courts that a MRP of Rs. 44 and Rs. 46 have been imposed on a white egg and a brown egg respectively.

Accordingly, the plaintiff had expressed satisfaction and is prepared to withdraw the petition.
