5.                Pivotal issue in this case is as to whether FCI was liable to pay the amount deposited by the complainant with the FCI Society of which Roshan Lal -opposite party No.2 and Yogender Kumar- opposite party No.3, were the then President and Secretary respectively.

6.               The FCI Society was formed by its Members and practically being run by Roshan Lal, President and Yogender Kumar, Secretary.  The President and the Secretary of the FCI Society were actively involved in the affairs of the FCI Society. The complainant unnecessarily impleaded FCI and its functionaries.  FCI had no role to play with the functioning of the Society. This being so, the District Forum had wrongly directed the FCI and its functionaries to pay the amount alongwith other opposite parties jointly and severally.  In view of this, the appeal is accepted and the impugned order is set aside qua the FCI-appellants.
