DDA to pay Rs 50,000 for compensation
The Delhi Development Authority has been asked to pay Rs 50,000 compensation to a woman over a flat, whose allotment was cancelled, while noting that she was not informed in a proper manner. New Delhi District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, presided by C K Chaturvedi, asked DDA to pay the money to one Rekha Raghav, while holding that it did not send the allotment letter to her directly.
The forum asked DDA to pay the money while rejecting its contention that the allotment letter was delivered to Raghav as it noted that Axis Bank, through which the letter was allegedly sent, could not provide proof of delivery. They stated that they hold Opposite Party-1, DDA, guilty of not directly sending the allotment letter to complainant, once Axis Bank could not provide proof of delivery and where complainant is repeatedly asking for it.
This decision has been taken as this cancellation of appointment without any prior notice has made the women deal with a lot of problems. The DDA has hence to pay a compensation amount amend things.
