    Judge: VIJAY KUMAR GOYAL ASHOK SANGWAN

    1.        The applicant/respondent vide application dated 11.09.2024 has requested for rectification of order dated 13.08.2024 w.r.t. correction of due date of possession in the said order in the above captioned complaints which were disposed of by the authority.2.        The counsel for the respondent states at bar that earlier in complaint bearing no. 3244/2021, the authority calculated the due date of possession as 06.11.2020 which was calculated from the date of consent to establish. Whereas, in the present complaints, the authority inadvertently calculated the due date from date of environment clearance and mentioned the due date as 20.01.2020 in para 30 of the detailed order dated 13.08.2024. The counsel for the respondent further draws attention of the authority towards the proceedings dated 30.04.2024 wherein the due date of possession is mentioned as 06.11.2020.3.        The counsel for the complainants argues that an application u/s 39 of the Act, 2016 can be allowed only if there is an error apparent from the record and rectifying the due date of possession shall change the substantive part of the said order, hence may not be allowed. Moreover, the detailed order was passed by the authority after taking into consideration all the documents placed on record and arguments advanced by the parties, therefore there is no ground under section 39 for this application to be allowed.4.        Findings of the Authority:a.      In view of the facts stated above and the arguments advanced by the parties during the course of hearing, the Authority observes that firstly the daily proceedings dated 30.04.2024 are not the final order and also the said proceedings recorded are the arguments advanced by the counsel for respondent and not the observation of the authority.b.     Furthermore, the due date of possession in an affordable group housing project is calculated strictly as per clause 1(iv) of the Affordable Group Housing Policy, 2013 (hereinafter referred as AGHP, 2013)i.e., from the date of environmental clearance 22.01.2016 being later. The relevant clause of AGHP, 2013 is produced herein below for the ready reference:“All such projects shall be required to be necessarily completed within 4 years from the approval of building plans or grant of environmental clearance, whichever is later. This date shall be referred to as the „date of commencement of project‟ for the purpose of this policy. The licences shall not be renewed beyond the said 4 years period from the date of commencement of project”c.      The authority herein observes that the due date of possession is correctly calculated by the authority in the detailed order dated 13.08.2024 as per the AGHP, 2013 and the same is also being mentioned in the final proceedings dated 13.08.2024. Detailed findings w.r.t. the same have already been recorded in the detailed order and there is no error apparent from the record. In view of the above, the rectification applications dated 11.09.2024 are dismissed being not maintainable u/s 39 of the Act, ibid.5.        Ordered accordingly. The matters stand disposed of.

    The present complaint has been received on 06.05.2022 and the reply was received on 29.08.2022. The complainant is seeking the following reliefs :-   1.   Direct the respondent to pay prescribed rate of interest on the amount paid at the rate of 15% p.a. as charged by the respondent from the complainant on delay installment till the respondent hands over the legal and rightful possession of the plat as per clause 5(iii)(b) of Haryana Affordable Housing Policy, 2013 2.     Direct the respondent to deliver the possession of the flat to the complainant after receiving OC and other approvals from the competent authority.  3.  Direct the respondent to complete the development of the flat along with all the facilities and amenities like water, electricity, roads, parks, club etc. immediately. 4.  Direct the respondent to provide fixed date of delivery of possession. 5.  Direct the respondent to not to charge anything which is not mentioned in the agreement and scheme. The counsel for the respondent  states that they have settled many cases w.r.t. the handover of possession and  the respondent is ready to offer the physical possession today itself through email as well as post to the complainant. Further he states that respondent will not insist on prior payment of any outstanding amount which will be settled as per the orders of this Authority on the reliefs sought by the complainant including delayed interest. The authority has already considered the due date of possession as 06.11.2020 by calculating 4 years from the date of consent to establish i.e. 06.05.2016 plus 6 months grace period in lieu of  covid-19. However, aggrieved by this order by not allowing the delay on account of  ban on construction etc as already allowed by the Ld. Civil Judge in suit no. CS-3317-2022, the respondent preferred an appeal against the said order of authority for not allowing extra grace period on account of delays due to reason beyond the control of the promoter.   Furthermore, the respondent states that the Ld Civil Judge has taken the due date from the date of establishment as date of commencement of project after going through the order of the Authority vide complaint no. 4798 of 2022 wherein it has been confirmed by the Authority that start date of construction of the project as 06.05.2016 (consent to establish) and after that  13 months grace period was given by the Learned Court of Civil Judge on the basis of certain notification considering it as  moratorium period of 11 months and also Leaned Civil Judge has given 94 days grace period on the basis of judgment of Apex Court and NGT. the same was also endorsed by the appeal at the UP tribunal vide appeal number 541/2021, which also states that the Covid pandemic has also given 116 days on account of restriction/ban imposed by the environment pollution authority as well as wide orders of honourable Supreme Court of India dated 14 November 2019. The counsel for the complainant states that the respondent has been kept on demanding payments from them but, never showed their willingness to handover the possession despite repeated follow-ups. Even after giving so many opportunities, the respondent did not handover the possession to the complainant, which clearly states the intention to play delay tactics.   Arguments heard. Both the parties may file written submissions within a period of 15 days after supplying a copy to each other . Matter to come up on 13.8.2024 for pronouncement of orders.
