I.

That the complainants had booked the shop no.609 in their own name in an upcoming project Ansal Boulevard, Sector g3, Gurugram of thc answering respondent.

Complaint No.

6.

PaEe 4 of 77 v' *lA8rnn #- ounuennvr II.

That rhe current dispute cannot be governed by the RERA Act,2016 because of the fact that the builder buyer agreement signed between the complainant and the answering respondent was in the year 2011.

The regulations at the concerned time period would regulate the project and not a subsequent legislation i.e. ation i.e.

RERA Act,201_6.

The parliament would not make the operation of a statute retrospective in effect, IIL That the complaint specifically admits to not paying necessary ducs or the full payment as agreed upon under the builder buyer agreement.

The complainant cannot be allowed to take advantage of his own wrong.

IV.

That the complainant has admittedly filed the complaint in the ycar 2024 and the cause of action accrue occurred before that and is bound by limitation as per the complaint itself.

Therefore, it is submitted that the complaint cannot be filed before the HRERA Gurugram as the samc is barred by limitation.

V.

That clause 34 ofthe said agreement provides for Rs.

5/ sq foot per month on super area for any delay in offering possession ofthe unit as mentioned in clause 30 of the agreement.

Therefore, the complainant will be entitled to invoke the said clause and is barred from approach ing the Hon'ble Commission in order to alter the penalty clause by virtue of this complaint more than 8 years after it was agreed upon by both parties.

Vl.

That the respondent had in due course of time obtained all necessary approvals from the concerned authorities.

Similarly, the approval for digging foundation and basement was obtained and sanctions from the department of mines and geology were obtained in 2012. .l.hus, the respondent has in a timely and prompt manner ensured that the requisite compliances be obtained and cannot be faulted on glving delayed possession to the complainant.

1532 of ZOZ4 Page 5 of17 HARERA P* GURUGRAM Complaint No.

1532 of 2OZ4 VII.

That the delay has been occasioned on account of things beyond thc control of the answering respondent.

The builder buyer agreement provides for such eventualities and the cause for delay is complctely covered in the said clause.

The respondent ought to have complied with the orders of the Hon'ble High Court of punjab and Haryana at Chandigarh in CWp No.

20032 of 2OOB, dated 1,6.07.20L2, 31.07.

L2, 31.07.2012, 21.08.2012.

The said orders banned the extraction of water which is the backbone of the construction process.

Similarly, the complaint itself reveals that the correspondence from the respondent specifies force majeure, demonetization and the orders of the Hon,ble N GT proh ibiting construction in and around Delhi and the CoVID _19 pandemrc among others as the causes which contributed to the stalling of the projecr at crucial iunctures for considerable spells.

VIIL That the complainant had signed and agreed on builder buyer agreement dated 06.01.2015.

That perusal of the said agreement would show that it is a tripartite agreement wherein M/s Samyak pro,ects l)vt.

Ltd is also a party to the said agreement.

IX.

That the perusal of the builder buyer agreement at page 3 would show that M/s Samyak Proiects pvt.

Ltd not only possesses ail the rights and unfettered ownership of the said land whereupon the proiect namcly Ansal boulevard, Sector 83 is being developed, but also js a developer in the said project.

That the operating lines at page 3 of the builder buyer agreement are as follow; ,,The Developer has entered into an agreemenr with the confirming parry 3 i.e M/s Samyak projects pvt.

Ltd to jointly promote, develop and market the proposed project being developed on the land as aforesaid." X.

The said M/s Samyak proiect pvt.

Ltd. in terms of its arrangement with the respondent could not develop the said project well within time as Page 6 ol 17 ffi HARERA ffi eunuEnnlrr 7. xt. was agreed and given to the respondent, the delay, ifany, is on the part of M/s Samyak Project pvt.

Ltd. not on the part of respondent, because the construction and development of the said project was undertaken by M/s Samyak Project pvt.

Ltd.

That in an arbitral proceedings before the Ld.

Arbitrator lustice A.K Sikri, M/s Samyak project pvt. oject pvt. has taken over the present project thc answering respondent for completion of the project and the respondent has no locus or say in the present project.

Copies of all the relevant documents have been filed and placed on record.

Their authenticity is not in dispute.

Hence, the complaint can be decided on the basis ofthese undisputed documents and submissio n made by the parties.

Jurisdiction of the authority The authority has complete territorial and subject matter Jurisdiction to adjudicate the present complaint for the reasons given below.

E,l Territorialjurisdiction As per notification no.

1/92/2O17-1TCp dated 14.12.20t7 issued by Town and Country Planning Department, Haryana the jurisdiction of Haryana Real Estate Regulatory Authority, Gurugram shall be entirc Gurugram district for all purposes.

In the present case, the project in question is situated within the planning area of Gurugram district.

Therefore, this authority has complete territorial jurisdiction to dcal with the present complaint.

E.ll Subiect-matteriurisdiction Section 11(4)(aJ of rhe Act, 2016 provides that the promoter shall be responsible to the allottee as per agreement for sale.

Section 11(4)(a) is reproduced as hereunder: Section 71 E, L 9.

1532 of ZO24 10.

Page 7 of 17 </ HARERA RGURUGRAI\/ Complaint No.

1532 of 2OZ4 (4) The pronoter shaL (o) be responsible for ollobligotions, responsibtlitrcs ond functrcns under the provisions of this Act or the rules ond regulattons made thereunder or to the ollottees qs per the ogreemei't for sole, or to the association of allottees, os the case moy be, till ti" ,onr"yunr" of .all the opartments, plots or buildings, os the cose moy be, to the allottees, or the common areos to the ossociation of oltottees or the competent outhoriq), as the cose moy be; Section J 4- Functions of the Authority: 344 of the Act provides to ensure complionce of the obltgotions cast upon the promoters, the qllottees ond the real estote ogents under this under this Act ond the rules ond regulations made thereunder.

11.

So, in view ofthe provisions ofthe Act quoted above, the authority has complete jurisdiction to decide the complaint regarding non- compliance ofobligations by the promoter leaving aside compensat,on which is to be decided by the adiudicating officer if pursued by rhe complainants at a Iater stage.

F.

Findings on the obiections raised by respondent: F.l Obiection regarding iurisdiction of the complaint w.r.t the builder buyer agreement executed prior to coming into force ofthe Act.

12.

The respondent submitted that the complaint is neither maintainablc nor tenable and is liable to be outrightly djsmissed as thc builder buyer's agreement was executed between the parties prior to thc enactment of the Act and the provision ofthe said Act cannot be applied retrospectively.

13.

The authority is of the view that the provisions of the Acr are quasr retroactive to some extent in operation and would be applicable to thc agreements for sale entered into even prior to coming into operation of the Act where the transaction are still in the process of completion.

The Act nowhere provides, nor can be so construed, that all previous agreements would be re-written after coming into force of the Act.

Therefore, the provisions of the Act, rules and agreement have to bc Page E of 17 GURUGRAI/ HARERA Complaint No.

7532 of 2OZ4 read and interpreted harmoniously.

However, if the Act has provided for dealing with certain specific p rovisio ns/s ituatio n in a specific/particular manner, then that situation will be dealt with in accordance with the Act and the rules after the date of comjng into force of the Act and the rules.

Numerous provisions of the Act save thc provisions of the agreements made between the buyers and sellers.

The said contention has been upheld in the landmark judgment of Neelkamal Realtors Suburban pvt.

Ltd, Vs. llol and others. (W.p 2737 of 2077) decided on 06.12. on 06.12.2017 and which provides as under: "119.

Under the provisions of Section 18, the deloy in handing over the possesslor] would be counted from the dote mendo;ed in the agreement for sole entered into by the promoter and the ullotlee prior to its registrotion under REF#.. under the provisions of RIiRA, the promoter is given o facitrty to revise the dote oj .ompletion of project ond declare the some under Section 4_ The RERA does not contemplate rewriting of contrqct between the flot purchoser ond the promoter...

122.

We hove olready discussed thot qbove stoted provisions of the REF'1 are not reiospective in noture.

They noy to some extent be hdvinu a retroqctive or quasi retroactive effect but then on thot ground the volidity of the provisions of REFuA connot be chollinged.

The Porliament is cornpetent enough to legislate lq; having retrospective or retroqctive effect.

A law can be even framed to offeit subsisting / existing contractuol rights between tie pqrties in Lhe lorger public interest.

We do not hove any doubt in our mind thot the REM hos been fromed in the lorger public interest ofter o thorouqh study and discussion mode ot the highest level by the Stondin!) Committee and Select Committee, which submitied its detoiled reports." 14.

Also, in appeal no.

173 of 2079 titled as Magic Eye Developer pvt.

Vs, Ishwer Singh Dahiya, in order dated 17.12.201,9 the Harvana Real Estate Appellate Tribunal has observed- "34.

Thus, keeping in view our qforesoid discussion, we ore ol the considered opinion that the provisions of the Act are quost retroactive to some extent in operotion and will be applicoble to the ogreements for sale entered into even prior to coming into operat@n of the Actwhere the tronsoction qre still in the proceis i;;oktion.

Hence in cose of delqy in the offer/deliver! oI possessiinr.-.s per the terms ond conditions of the agreement for sole the allottee shL)ll l)e Page 9 of17 1/ ffiHARERA ffi aJRUGRAT,/ F".

The agreements are sacrosanct save and-except for the provisions which have been abrogated by the Act itself.

Further, it is noted that the builder-buyer agreements have been executed in the manner that there is no scope left to the allottee to negotiate any of the clauses contained therein.

Therefore, the authority is of the view that the charges payable under various heads shall be payable as per the agreed terms and conditions of the agroement subject to the condition that the same are in accordance with.therdans/permissions approved by the respective departments/compdtent authorities and are not in contravention of any other Act, rules and regulations made thereunder and are not unreasonable or exorbitant in nature.

Hence, in the light of above-mentioned reasons, the contention of the respondent w.r.t. jurisdiction stands re.iected.

F.ll Obiection regarding force maieure conditions: 16.

The respondent-promoter raised a contention that the construction ol the project was delayed due to force majeure conditions such as various orders passed by Hon,ble High Court ofpunjab and Haryana at Chandigarh in CWP No.

2OO3Z of 2008, dated 76.07 .20t2, 31.07 .2012.

21.0A.2072, lockdown due to outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic which further led to shortage of labour and demonetization.

Further. the authority has gone through the possession clause and observed that the respondent-developer proposes to handover the possession of thc allotted unit within a period of 3 6 months from the date of sanction of building plans or date of execution of allotment letter, whichever ls later. [n the present case, the date of sanction of building plans are not Page 10 of 17 / ffiHARERA ffi eunuennM Complaint No. plaint No.

1532 of ZO24 available so, the due date is calculated from the date of execution ol allotment letter is 26.11.2011 therefore, the due date of subject unit comes out to be 26.11.2014.

The events such as various orders by Punjab and Haryana High Court and demonetization were for a shorrer duration of time and were not continuous as there is a delay of more than ten years.

Even today no occupation certificate has been rece,ved by the respondent.

Therefore, said plea of the respondent is null and void.

As far as delay in construction due to outbreak of Covid_19 is concerned, the lockdown came into effect on 23.03.?O2O whereas the due date of handing over of possession was much prior to thc event ol. outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic.

Therefore, the authority js of the view that outbreak of a pandemic cannot be used as an excuse for non- performance of a contract for which the deadlines were much beforc the outbreak itself and for the said reason, the said time period is not excluded while calculating the delay in handing over possession.

F.llI Obrection regarding non impleadment of necessary party i.e., M/s Samyak Proiect pvt.

Ltd, 17.

The respondent in the present has pleaded that M/s Samyak project Pvt.

Ltd. should be impleaded as a necessary party to the case and should be held liable.

The Authority observes that in the presenr complaint, it is evident that Ansal Housing Limited executed the agreement with the complainant and received consideration towards the same, for which receipts have been issued.

Moreover, the M/s Samyak Project Pvt.

Ltd. was not confirming party in the agreemenr executed between the complainant and the respondent.

In vjew thereof, Ansal Housing Limited is held Iiable.

The legislature in its wisdom in the subordinate legislation under the provision of rule 15 ofthe rules, has determined the prescribed rate of interest.

The rate of interest so determined by the legislature, rs reasonable and iFthe said rule is followed to award the interest, it will ensure uniform practice in all the cases.

Consequently, as per website of the State Bank of Indra r.e., https: //sbi.co.in. the marginal cost of lending rate (in short, MCLRI as on date i.e., 18.07.2025 is 9.100/0.

Accordingly, the prescribed ratc of interest will be marginal cost of lending rate +Zo/o i.e., 11.10%o per annum.

The definition of term 'interest, as defined under section 2(za) of the Act provides that the rate of interest chargeable from the allottee by the promoter, in case of default, shall be equal to the rate of interest which the promoter shall be liable to pay the allottee, in case ofdefaulL.

The relevant section is reproduced below: "[za) "interest" means the rates ofinterest poyable by the promoter or the qllottee, as the case moy be.

In the present case, the date of sanction of bu ild ing plans are not available so, the due date is calculated from the datc of execution of allotment letter is 26.11.2011 therefore, the due date ot subject unit comes out to be 26.71.2014.

Furthermore, thc respondent's request for a grace period based on force majeure rs hereby denied, as the reasons for such denial have been outlined above.

Till date no occupation certificate has been obtained by the respondent.
