Consumer forum orders DLF to pay 10L to allottee


New Delhi: DLF Home Developers has been asked by a district consumer forum here to pay Rs 10 lakh to one of its allottees for refusing to refund the booking amount for a flat in a project which did not have legal sanction for execution.

    The forum also restrained DLF from “launching or advertising” any project without putting up on its website or in its advertisement information about the legal sanction and approvals etc for the project and the details of authorities from whom buyers can verify the same.

    The New Delhi District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum also slammed the real-estate developer, saying it “forced litigation” on its allottee, Gurgaon resident Arpan Jain, by “retaining his money illegally.” The forum said unless DLF is “deprived of its gains made on the basis of unfair trade practices and its greed is checked effectively, it would continue undeterred”.

    “We, holding opposite party guilty of committing gross illegality and unfair trade practices and rendering deficient services, determine damages for harassment and litigation at Rs five lakh to be paid to the complainant (Jain),” it said.

    The bench presided by C K Chaturvedi also directed DLF “to return the deposit of Rs five lakh with interest of 18% from the date of seeking refund.”

    The forum’s directions came on Jain’s complaint in which he had alleged that DLF had refused to refund the booking amount of Rs five lakh he had paid for a flat in its project “Express Greens” at Manesar, Haryana. PTI

  4. You will soon get the feeling whether the salesman is there for just your order, or if they are being professional and will turn your order into an investment. Asphalt paving near me
