Summary:
The State Consumers' Dispute Redressal Commission in its order has directed the project developers to provide flats for home buyers who had paid the entire amount as down payment, besides Rs 20 lakh as interest for its delayed possession. In 2007, the Rathis had booked a flat in the project "Engracia" situated at Haveli, Pune, admeasuring over 2,000 sq ft worth Rs 35.10 lakh. However, when the Rathis did not get possession of their flats as promised, they sought a refund. The new party suggested a deed of cancellation, but the terms were not agreeable to the Rathis, who then approached the commission seeking redressal. The commission also directed to pay Rs 1 lakh as compensation for causing mental harassment..
