Authority: Supreme Court of India
Order Date: 03-09-2026
Case Overview
- Petition: DLF Home Developers Ltd (Petitioner) vs Vikas Mittal (Respondent) concerning withdrawal of amount lying in the suitor’s fund under IA No. 242090/2026.
- The appellant sought withdrawal of the suitor’s fund amount; however, the Court noted that the appeal had already been disposed by an order dated 02.09.2022.
- The earlier order affirmed the judgment and order of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (the “National Commission”) and imposed interest at 9% per annum for non‑compliance.
- Counsel for both parties appeared before Hon’ble Mr. Justice Nongmeikapam Kotiswar Singh in chamber.
Final Outcome
- The Court re‑affirms the National Commission’s order, granting the appellant an additional six weeks from the date of this order to comply; failure to comply will attract interest at 9% per annum as previously ordered.
- No application has been filed by the respondent for withdrawal/disbursement; the Court therefore permits the respondent one opportunity to file such an application within two weeks from today, in accordance with law.
- The matter is directed to be listed for further hearing after four weeks.
- The amount deposited in the suitor’s fund will be dealt with as per applicable rules and the orders passed in these proceedings.
