National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC):\u00a0<\/strong>Prem Narain, Presiding Member, has directed the developers of “Greenopolis” to refund homebuyers their amount deposited at the interest rate of 9% p.a. and in a few complaints the bench has asked for the possession to be handed over by 30-09-2020 with the occupancy certificate and with a delayed penalty of 6% p.a. on the deposited amount.<\/p>\n

Consumer Complaints<\/span><\/h4>\n

Allottees of the project “Greenopolis” situated in Gurgaon alleged deficiency in service on the part of Opposite parties — Three C Shelters (P) Ltd.<\/p>\n

Original allottee booked an apartment in OP’s project for a consideration of Rs 87,16, 800\/-, apartment was allotted and later the same was endorsed in favour of complainant.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

OP’s failed to deliver the possession in 42 months inclusive of 6 months grace period. Till date, the complainant has paid Rs 75,96,776\/- to OP’s.<\/p>\n

Several complaints have been filed by homebuyers with regard to no delivery and possession of the apartments for which they have paid installments of a very huge amount.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Analysis and Decision<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

No breach of agreement by complainants | Entitled to relief under Sections 54 and 55 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872<\/span><\/h4>\n

Argument with regard to Sections 54 and 55 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872, OPs relied on the Commission’s decision in\u00a0DLF Southern Town (P) Ltd. v. Dipu C. Seminal,\u00a0<\/em>wherein the complainant had deposited only the booking amount and no installments were paid whereas in the present complaints installment have been paid upto reasonable limit and on no progress in construction, the payment was stopped later.<\/p>\n

Force Majeure<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Defence of force majeure by OPs cannot be taken as there was no ban on construction and OPs should have put their resources and managerial skills to bring water from outside to complete the construction in time.<\/p>\n

Joint Project<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Three C Shelters (P) Ltd. pleaded for force majeure conditions for the delay and on the other hand Orris Infrastructure (P) Ltd. pleaded that Three C Shelters was responsible for delay in construction. Both of them had signed on the “Apartment buyer Agreement” and hence Commission stated that both of them were responsible for delay.<\/p>\n

\n

Apartment Buyer Agreement<\/span><\/h4>\n

Bench observed that the OP’s clearly have failed to complete the project and give the possession in time to the homebuyers as per the Apartment Buyer Agreement.<\/p>\n

Hence allottees have the right to ask for a refund due to the inordinate delay which has been beyond 1 year, the possession was to be given in the year 2016.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

No Forfeiture of earnest money<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

So far as the question of forfeiture of earnest money is concerned, it is seen that the complainants are seeking refunds as the project has been inordinately delayed. Even though the RERA, Haryana has taken a meeting to expedite the project and Three C Shelters (P) Ltd. has agreed to complete the project in phases.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

Commission noted that OPs have not paid EDC and IDC to the Government and it seems that the OPs were not serious in timely completing the project. Thus, in these circumstances, there can be no question of forfeiture of earnest money.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Supreme Court in Haryana Urban Development Authority v. Diwan Singh, <\/em>(2010) 14 SCC 770<\/a>, observed that subsequent buyers are entitled to receive interest only after the date of endorsement in their favour.<\/em><\/p>\n

In view of the above, Commission directed Three C Shelters to refund the amount at 9% interest per annum.<\/p>\n

In one of the cases, Orris Infrastructure (P) Ltd. is directed to complete the construction work and handover the possession till 30-09-2020 after obtaining an occupancy certificate, and it shall pay interest of 6% p.a. on the deposited amount.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

If the possession is not delivered till 30-09-2020, the complainant shall be at liberty to take a refund of the total deposited amount Rs 77,58,581\/- along with interest @ 9% p.a. from the date of respective deposits till actual payment. [Sanjay Gupta v. Three C Shelter (P) Ltd., 2020 SCC OnLine NCDRC 178<\/b><\/a>, decided on 20-07-2020]<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
