The Kerala High Court on Saturday (October 25) dismissed a plea, which had challenged the collection of parking fees from vehicles parked in the parking area of Lulu Shopping Mall at Edappally in Kochi.
Division Bench comprising Justice Sushrut Arvind Dharmadhikari and Justice Syam Kumar V.M. was considering a writ appeal preferred against the Single Bench's judgment. The Single Judge had held that the building owner can determine whether or not to charge customers for parking their vehicles while using the shopping facility and services offered in the building.
Lulu Mall, one of the largest shopping malls in the country, is spread across an area of 68,000 sq.mts. It has a parking facility in the basement of the building with 1083 parking slots as statutorily required. However, in addition to this, the mall also has a separate multilevel car parking facility adjacent to it because of which the mall has a total of 4387 parking slots.
