Right or Wrong Decision?

TR Madhavan (Querist) 24 September 2010 This query is : Resolved
1. National Consumer Commission awarded to we 20 named respondents a sum as travel and allied expenses which has to paid to our flat owners welfare association within four weeks from the date of order. Before the expiry period the complainant came to hand over the draft. The present President of our association was not interested in signing the receipt. The complainant took back the draft. Nearly fifteen day after the expiry of the date mentioned in the order, the present president of our association accepted the draft without the knowledge of the respondents and the executive committee. He issued a letter to all the respondent to collect the amount a month later. Due to various reasons the amount is till with the association. Is it right as per the law? If wrong what is the next step should be taken by the authorised person of the respondents?

yes. You can collect the amount now. If needed you can later claim interest on the amount or anything as per the order passed in the NCDRC
