Legal Question in Real Estate Law in India

I bought a flat in a DLF bldg in Gurgaon a month ago. The condominium association gave a certificate saying that there were no dues. The previous owner had deposited two cheques with the condo assoc towards a lift upgrade fund, one of which was encashed, and the other one, not deposoted in the bank, became time-barred. The condo assoc has certified that only one cheque towards the lift upgrade fund is due, which I will pay.

Who is responsible for the payment for the lapsed chequed - the previous owner or me, the current owner? Emails to the previous owner have elicited no response.

Dear Sir / Madam,

The Agreement for Sale usually has a clause that all dues that pertain to the period till the date of sale will be borne by the Seller. In this case, the lapsed cheque amount has to be borne by the Seller.
