Law: Are you owner of Uneaten Food remaining on your dish served to you in Hotels ? Law says No

Law says that you are not the owner of uneaten food on you dish in hotel, even if you may have paid the price.

The payment of price only allows you to sit and eat that food.

You does not become owner of that food.

You cannot do whatever you think fit with uneaten food.

The above view is expressed in Electa B Merril v James W Hodson, (1915 B LRA 481) referred by Supreme Court in Narinder S Chadha v. Municipal Corpn of Greater Mumbai reported in 2014(13)SCALE 575
