Flat delayed for 12 yrs: Rs 1.73 cr refund for buyer
Rajinder Singh, a homebuyer from Gurgaon, had to wait for a decade to receive his flat after paying nearly Rs 1.73 crore. Initially, he was promised possession within three years, but the construction work was never completed. After seven years of waiting, Singh took legal action, first approaching the NCLT Chandigarh and then the Haryana Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission.
Ultimately, the commission ordered the builder to refund the deposit of Rs 1,72,93,048.76 along with 12% interest from the time of deposit to payment. Additionally, Singh was awarded Rs 3 lakh for mental and physical suffering and Rs 1 lakh for litigation expenses. The commission found that the builder had been negligent and had an unfair trade practice, and that the delay was due to factors beyond their control.
