Mere Ownership Of Multiple Properties Doesn't Imply Commercial Intent: Delhi State Commission Holds Omaxe Ltd. Liable For Deficiency In Service

The Delhi State Commission held in a case against Omaxe Ltd. for deficiency in service regarding the ownership of multiple properties. The complainant alleged that despite paying the full consideration for a commercial property, Omaxe Ltd. failed to transfer ownership. Omaxe argued that the complainant had no right to file the complaint since he owned multiple properties, implying commercial intent. The Commission ruled in favor of the complainant, stating that the consumer protection laws do not differentiate based on the number of properties owned. It emphasized that Omaxe's failure to transfer ownership constituted deficiency in service. The decision underscores consumer rights under the Consumer Protection Act and addresses concerns regarding the intent behind property ownership.
