The original penalty of PKR 5 million was halved to PKR 2.5 million, in light of the company\u2019s compliance-oriented approach. The tribunal\u2019s decision follows Diamond Paints\u2019 admission of guilt and a plea for leniency. Appreciating the company\u2019s willingness to comply with legal obligations, the CAT reduced the fine and disposed of the appeal. The CCP\u2019s original order was issued by a bench comprising Chairman Dr. Kabir Ahmed Sidhu and Member Mr. Salman Amin. It stemmed from a complaint filed by Nippon Paint Pakistan (Pvt.) Ltd, alleging that Diamond Paints failed to disclose key details in its television commercials (TVCs), specifically the presence and value of redeemable tokens in its paint buckets.
