The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) has awarded a three-year jail term to the Supertech managing director for breach of undertaking given before it.
“In view of the non-compliance of the direction and dishonouring his own commitment, we sentence the MD of the company, as per powers under Section 27 of the Consumer Protection Act, for three years’ imprisonment and issue warrants of arrest,” the consumer panel directed.
As a last chance, the bench of C Viswanath and R S R Maurya said the jail term will come into effect a week from September 20th if Supertech doesn’t deposit the money. Soon after the verdict on Monday, the developer moved the Delhi high court, which refused to interfere or stay the order.
