Refund of deposit

Vandna Arora (Querist) 18 September 2014 This query is : Resolved
Dear Experts,

My father in law took an agency of Bata Shoes in 1990. at the time of taking up the agency he paid Rs. 1,00,000/-. My father in law expired in 1991 after that My husband wrote letters to Bata asking for refund but they did not reply finally they replied back in 1995 and said as per their books amount is standing outstanding and pls asked to furnish successtion certifiate and original death certificate.
Due to some internal problems we could not handle the matter at that point of time and after that it just slipped out of mind. now we have been sending them letters to know the amount so that we can file for succession certificate and Bata is not responding please suggest what is our recourse.

Thanks in advance for your expert advice.

Regards

Vandna

Even now also, you can obtain a Succession Certificate and the death certificate of your late father-in-law and send them to BATA by way of Demand Notice through an advocate, asking to return the deposit amount. Without submitting those two documents, the authorities of BATA may not respond again.

your claim would be barred by limitation . you have slept for 20 years

The claim is time barred. You should write on every 15 days to various officials of Bata office. Being a company of fame, they may consider your claim.

Even in my opinion the claim appears to be miserably barred by limitation however issue a legal demand notice and wait for the reply.
