The story
A son's promise to his mother.
Ruma Roy spent a lifetime as a homemaker. When her son began earning, he made her one promise above all others: a home of her own, in her name, where she could finally feel safe.
In 2014 that promise took shape — a modest 1,025 sq ft flat, Flat A-3 in the "King's Residency" project, Rajarhat, Kolkata. The family paid ₹25,20,000 of the ₹30,20,000 price to Suryamukhi General Finance & Investment Co. (India) Ltd., a company whose director personally signed the agreement and promised possession by mid-2015.
Possession never came. No flat. No refund. The company simply moved address and went silent. When the family sent legal notice, it came back stamped “addressee moved.”
An arbitral tribunal heard the matter and, on 8 December 2017, ordered the company to repay — with interest. To this day, with the sum now ₹67,37,490 and growing at 12% a year, the family has not seen a single rupee. The Hon'ble High Court at Calcutta is actively trying to enforce its own order; the company's directors have repeatedly failed to appear, and warrants have been issued.
