A consumer court in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has fined a popular clothing brand Rs. 50,000 for charging a customer Rs. 30 for a shopping bag bearing the brand's logo. The decision came after Shafaq Aamir, the complainant, filed a complaint against the brand under Section 13 of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Consumers Protection Act, 1997. Aamir had purchased clothing worth Rs.
7,000 from the brand's outlet on December 20, 2025, and was subsequently charged Rs. 30 for the bag, despite not requesting it. The company maintained that the bags were optional and only provided upon request. However, the court noted that the logo-bearing bag was provided for promotional purposes and that the brand could have provided standard bags instead.
The court ruled that the practice constituted an unfair trade practice and ordered the brand to refund Rs. 30 to Aamir, pay Rs. 25,000 in compensation, and pay an additional fine of Rs. 25,000 to the government.
