New Delhi: The Delhi High Court Friday stayed an order of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) sentencing Supertech's MD Mohit Arora to 3-year imprisonment and issuing arrest warrant against him for non-compliance of an order in a case by a home buyer.
Justice Amit Bansal directed the realty firm to deposit Rs 50 lakh, out of the outstanding Rs 1.75 crore, in the home buyer''s account within a week to show its bona fide to the court.
The NCDRC order, to the extent that the company's MD is sentenced to 3-year imprisonment, shall remain stayed till the next date of hearing - October 4.
The court also directed both the company and the home buyer to place on record the statement of amount due as per the NCDRC order.
