He further assured that he will provide the 4-wheeler designated parking with the help of the respondent to the complainant, and he also assured the complainant that the said amount would be adjusted towards the payment for the flat in case the respondent fails to provide 4-wheeler parking as promised.
The complainant also requested for the invoice for payment from the agent of the respondent, however the agent of the respondent assured the complainant that the invoice would be generated only on confirmation of the said 4-wheeler parking by respondent. d) That in 2023 after the demise of mother-in-law and continuing medical condition of the father-in-law of the complainant, the complainant requested to Page 4 of LSU HARERA ffiOURUGRAM Complaint no.3499 of 2023 forego the 4-wheeler parking and instead adjust the said amount of Rs.4,50,000/- towards the payment for the flat. eJ That initially the agent provided assurance that they would make the necessary adjustment of the aforementioned amount in the payment of the flat.
I1owever, despite repeated requests for the adjustment and for the provision of an invoice for the payment of Rs.4,50,ooo/-, the agent of the respondent ceased answering the complainant and her husband's calls. 'rhe agent was representing the respondent as principal.
0 That the respondent's actions reached a point where they neglected to proceed with the request of the complainant and her husband to share a copy of the agreement for sale, which was executed between the complainant and the respondent, which is not even registered, after duly receiving a total sum of Rs'11,14,563/- from the complainant.
The respondent possesses the said agreement but failed the complainant's legitimate request to provide a copy to the complainant. mplainant. g) That the complainant tried to communicate with the respondent and his agents and has raised all the objections about their inactivity.
However, the respondent never addressed the issue raised by the complainant seriously and had always been in denial mode without ever looking in the issues. hl That clause 4 of the Agreement for sale provided adjustment/appropriation of payments as follows: "The Allottee authorizes the promoter to adjust/appropriote all payments made by him/her under any head(s) of duei against rawfur o_utstanding of the Ailottee against th; Itnit/Apartment for Residential/commercial (as the iase may be) oiong with one 2 wheeler parking (if applicabte), if any, in his/her ir^, and the Allottee undertakes not to objeci/demand/direct thie promoter to adjust his payments in any menner.,, for the ,r/ Page 5 of 15 ffiHARERA ffieunuennu Complaint no.3499 of 2023 That the said clause is one sided and unfair.
However, the said clause can be read to give power to the builder to accommodate the request and adjust the amount received in lieu of parking towards the payment of flat. i) That regardless of all payments made by the complainant, the respondent fraudulently with malicious intent to deceive the complainant issued cancellation letter dated 20.06.2023 unilaterally without having any formal conversation with the complainant.
The cancellation letter is void-ab-initio.
The complainant paid a total sum of Rs.1L, 14,563/- and the amount which the respondent has quoted to refund is Rs.5,41 ,Bg2/-.
The amount mentioned in the cancellation letter is less than what the complainant has actually paid to the respondent, thus rendering the said cancellation letter void.
Further, clause 9'3[ivJ of the agreement is also breached as the promoter could have forfeited amount to extent of Rs.25,000/_ only.
00/_ only. j) That the unilateral issuance of cancellation letter by the respondent with malafide intention is because of the latest notice regarding the discontinuation of the DDIAY scheme in the Final Development plan ZO3I of Manesar Urban Complex and Faridabad' Also, the respondent failed to adhere to the prescribed procedure for cancellation process as outlined in clause 5[i) of Annexure-A of the Affordable Housing policy 201,3. k) That the respondent unilaterally issued cancellation letter dated z0,06.202:l falsely claiming a refundable amount of Rs.5,41,8 gz/- to dupe the complainant despite the fact that complainant had already paid Rs.1L, 14,563/- to the respondent' Further, the respondent only made a assertion of creating third party rights and failed to provide any legitimate documentary evidence substantiating the alleged creation of third party rights such as transfers, bank statements, or any legally recognised proofs. l) That the respondent claims that the defaulter list was published in newspaper on 25'04'2023, whereas the cancellation was issued on 2o.o6.2oz3.Thv Page6oflS ffiHARERA ffieunuennM Complaint no.3499 of 2023 cancellation letter does not mention any reference to such publication. .fhis establishes that respondent has filed false and concocted documents before the Authority. m) That the respondent's calculations are in direct violation of the Affordable Housing Policy, 201,3 and clause 9.3(iv) of the agreement for sale which provides for deduction of Rs.25,000/- from entire amount paid by allottee.
Thus, cancellation of allotment of the complainant is ultra vires, illegal and non-est in law.
