Are consumers taking undue advantage of sympathy of court ?

Today all the committee members of our co op hsg society in mumbai are frustrated due to un expected judgment of consumer court against society. Case back ground is as below.
Two years back, One of the trouble creator resident of the society did not removed his car from parking despite of lot of requests (verbal) during painting of society. Later did allegation that workers of painting contractor climbed on his car to paint roof of stilt parking which created dent to roof of his car. The so called damage was so minor that probably it was self created by pushing roof by hand. Yet he asked compensation of rs. 1 lac. Which was probably more than resell value of his old car. He also filed police complaint against society where we gave statement that society will help him to give reasonable compensation from the painting contractor. Also informed him in written to provide a valid bill of repair of vehicle against which society was ready to pay compensation to him. Society had given compensation to other members from the retention amount of painting contractor against valid bill for damages occurred to their property during painting.  Yet this guy filed a case against society in consumer court and court has given verdict today to pay him rs. 16000 as in estimate provided by garage owner not a bill. And it covers many other repairs apart from dent on roof top. In addition to this Rs. 15, 000 compensation and expense of case.
