Tahsildar And District Collector Held Liable For Failure To Measure Property Despite Receiving Challan Payments Thrice

In a recent ruling, the Vellore District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission held that the Tahsildar and District Collector cannot demand property challan payments more than once. The case arose when a complainant was asked to pay multiple times for the same property measurement challan. The Commission emphasized that such practices violate consumer rights and ordered the authorities to refund the excess amount collected, along with compensation and costs.
