In a recent ruling, the Maharashtra State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission dismissed an appeal made by Prerana Dawda and Tanya Dawda against the recovery proceedings initiated to settle a debt owed by their deceased father. The sisters sought to avoid liability by claiming that the property in question was not inherited from their father, Shailesh Dawda, but they failed to provide evidence supporting their claim.
The mother, Padma Dawda, had transferred the property to the daughters in 2022, making them legal heirs for the purpose of the recovery proceedings. The commission rejected the daughters' contention that their personal properties could not be attached for the deceased's liabilities, stating that their mother's transfer of the flats made them legally liable.
