Landowners in West Bengal, who signed a registered development agreement in 2014, have filed a consumer complaint against the builder. They say the project missed its deadline, their flats were not handed over, and the builder began selling its own share first. This, they say, is deficiency in service and unfair trade practice. The builder blames the landowners for delays. The consumer forum will decide.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The landowners signed a registered development agreement in 2014 for construction on their ancestral land.
- They complain that possession of their allocated flats was not delivered on time and the developer sold its own allocation first.
- The developer denies the claims and says the delays were caused by the landowners' failure to cooperate.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you are in a property development agreement, keep written records of all deadlines, communications, and any delays, so you can protect your position if a dispute arises.
