The deposit of Rs.1,50,000/- was matured on 02.05.2009. The complaint was filed on 03.04.2009, a few days earlier to the maturity of the deposit. The OPs who had appeared had orally admitted the transaction. The complainant has filed a copy of the deposit receipt signed by President and Secretary of the said society.
