    Hearing

    Judge: VIJAY KUMAR GOYAL ASHOK SANGWAN SANJEEV KUMAR ARORA

    Arguments heard. The counsel for the respondent states that provision of shops in the stilt portion was approved by DTCP in revised building plans in the year 2008 and subsequently OC has been obtained from DTCP vide memo No.8662 dated 12.07.2010 page 81. The AR of the respondent states that the above OC granted by DTCP on 12.07.2010 also pertains to the shops allotted to the complainant as the 211 dwelling units includes the above shops as well and not only the flats constructed under the above tower. However on perusal of the same it is noticed that under the heading description of the building for which OC has been granted relates to only 211 dwelling units with basement under tower No.D E and F and it nowhere specifies if the above OC is also in respect of the shops which are constructed in the stilt. The resident welfare association has moved to Honble Punjab and Haryana High Court challenging the construction of above shops and hence the respondent is not able to hand over unconditional possession and execution of conveyance deed which are being offered by the respondent subject to outcome of the orders of Honble High Court in above CWP. The counsel for the complainant is not willing to take the possession of the units for which neither any OC is available as on date nor the legal status of their construction is clear and hence is entitled for refund alongwith interest at prescribed rate of interest in view of the orders of Honble Supreme Court in case of Newtech Promoters and Developers Pvt. Ltd. versus State of U.P. wherein under para No.25 it has been held that it is unqualified right of the allottee to seek refund under section 18 1 a and 19 4 of the Act 2016 and is not depend on any contingencies or stipulations. The allottee cannot be expected endlessly for making a valid offer of possession and execution of conveyance deed for which substantial consideration amount has already been paid. In view of above refund is allowed alongwith prescribed rate of interest. Matter stands disposed off. Detailed order will follow. File be consigned to the registry.

    The   proxy counsel for the complainant requests for a short adjournment as the main counsel is preoccupied in other case in Delhi High Court and not available for addressing the arguments.  The counsel for the respondent has pointed out that in a similar matter in CR No.5326/2022 vide order dated 07.10.2022, this authority has decided that for each flat/unit a separate complaint needs to be filed by the complainant and held that the complaint filed for multiple units is not maintainable.   He further states that the land in question is under adjudication in CWP No.22243 of 2012 before the Hon’ble High Court, Chandigarh and hence requests for deferring the matter sine die. Matter is adjourned to 21.02.2023 for further proceedings.

    Hearing

    Judge: K K KHANDELWAL VIJAY KUMAR GOYAL

    File has been received on transfer from Adjudicating officer in view of the judgement dated 11.11.2021 passed by the Apex Court in the case bearing no. SLP (CIVIL) No(s). 3711-3715 of 2021 titled as M/s Newtech Promoters and Developers Pvt. Ltd. Versus State of U.P. and Ors. as matters regarding refund and interest under sec 18(1) are to be decided by the authority and matters regarding adjudging compensation to be decided by the Adjudicating officer.              The counsel for the respondent submitted that the issue  before the Hon’ble High Court is whether the revised plans approved by DTCP are valid as in the earlier plans parking was proposed to be constructed and in the revised plans shops have been constructed over the parking area.  Till this issue is decided by the Hon’ble High Court, conveyance deed cannot be executed. High Court has only discharged the respondent from the contempt petition No.396 of 2014 decided on 30.03.2017  where  it was held that offer of possession is not fresh sale attracting contempt. There is no comment about validity of possession letter.  This possession letter is also of no use if conveyance deed cannot be done.             The counsel for the respondent drew the attention of the authority towards offer of possession dated 11.03.2015 where it is mentioned that unit is located in the stilt area, through the part of FAR for which all the government fees and charges have been paid at the commercial rate by the company,  the conveyance deed, possession and usage of the unit and parking area shall be subject to final outcome of CWP No.22243 of 2012,  pending before the Hon’ble High Court of Punjab and Haryana.               It is observed that the respondent offered the possession of the allotted units on 11.03.2015 after obtaining OC on 12.07.2010. The  offer of possession is of no use to the allottee keeping in view the para quoted above. There is already an abnormal delay of more than 12 years from obtaining OC and no meaningful possession can be taken by the allottee.  It is further important to note that no BBA has been executed  but allotment letter very categorically provides for a period of 36 months from the sanction of building plans and commencement of construction.              It is important to note as per para 25 of judgment of Hon’ble Supreme Court titled M/s Newtech Promoters and Developers Private Limited Vs State of U.P. and Ors.,clarifies that the such right of the allottee is “unqualified”.  Relevant para No.25 of the above judgment is re-produced as under:- The unqualified right of the allottee to seek refund referred Under Section 18(1)(a) and Section 19(4) of the Act is not dependent on any contingencies or stipulations thereof. It appears that the legislature has consciously provided this right of refund on demand as an unconditional absolute right to the allottee, if the promoter fails to give possession of the apartment, plot or building within the time stipulated under the terms of the agreement regardless of unforeseen events or stay orders of the Court/Tribunal, which is in either way not attributable to the allottee/home buyer, the promoter is under an obligation to refund the amount on demand with interest at the rate prescribed by the State Government including compensation in the manner provided under the Act with the proviso that if the allottee does not wish to withdraw from the project, he shall be entitled for interest for the period of delay till handing over possession at the rate prescribed             Keeping in view that the offer of possession is a mere formality and the complainant has not been given possession so far even after lapse of 9 years from the date of due date of possession as per letter of allotment.            The proxy counsel for the complainant requested for an adjournment and the counsel for the respondent requests for filing written  arguments within a week.                Matter to come up on 28.07.2022 for further proceedings.
