Delhi State Commission Holds 'Ansal Properties & Infrastructure' Liable For Failure To Deliver Flat's Possession Within Stipulated Time

The Delhi State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission held Ansal Properties & Infrastructure Ltd. liable for failing to deliver possession of a flat within the stipulated time. The complainants had booked a unit in Green Escape Apartments, Sonipat, and made significant payments. Despite the contractual obligation to complete construction within 42 months, with an additional six-month extension, the builder failed to deliver the flat. The commission found the builder guilty of deficiency in service and breach of contractual obligations. It directed the builder to refund the amount paid by the complainants with interest, along with compensation for mental agony and legal costs. This decision underscores the importance of timely delivery in real estate transactions and the accountability of builders.
