In 2014, my mother — an elderly homemaker — was promised a small flat in Rajarhat, Kolkata. After a lifetime of putting everyone else first, it was meant to be the first home that was truly hers. Our family paid almost the entire price — ₹25,20,000 of our savings — to a Kolkata finance company, Suryamukhi General Finance & Investment Co. (India) Ltd. The flat was never built. More than a decade later, she is still waiting.

We did everything the law asks of us. Our legal notices came back marked "addressee moved." We went to arbitration — the company did not appear even once, across eight hearings. In December 2017, an arbitrator ordered a full refund with interest. Since 2019, we have been trying to enforce that order before the Hon'ble High Court at Calcutta. Eight years on, not a single rupee has been paid. The directors have dodged service, ignored orders to disclose their assets, and evaded arrest warrants.

This was not a misfortune. It was a method — and the public record proves it:

SEBI found that a company in the Vibgyor group illegally raised ₹61.76 crore from ~49,562 investors, barred its promoters, designated them as "officers in default," and ordered refunds.
The Calcutta High Court appointed the Justice (Retd.) S. P. Talukdar Committee to refund an estimated 52,000 depositors by auctioning the group's properties — auctions still under way.
The group's chairman was arrested in 2017; the group's Odisha head was convicted and sentenced to 10 years.
Thousands of ordinary families were cheated the same way. Many gave up. Some did not live to see justice. We have not given up. We respectfully ask:

That the High Court's order be enforced — warrants executed, assets disclosed on oath.
That The WB Directorate of Economic Offenses acts under the Depositors' Protection Act to attach assets and repay victims.
That flat purchasers like my mother be included in the SEBI/Talukdar refund.
That authorities review, through proper channels, why lawful court orders went unenforced for so long.
My mother is in her late sixties. She asks only for what a court has already said is hers.
