DLF Homes has been ordered by the SCDRC to pay home buyers Rs 1.35 lakh.

CHANDIGARH: The state consumer dispute redressal commission, UT, ordered DLF Homes and its directors to pay former Lieutenant General K J Singh and his wife Anita Singh Rs 1.35 lakh in lump sum compensation for causing mental agony and harassment, as well as litigation costs, within 30 days of receipt of a certified copy of this order, failing which the said amount shall bear interest at 9% per annum from the date of default until realization.

The forum also ordered DLF Homes to execute the sale deed in favor of Anita Singh for unit no A-1/33-GF with an area of 282.017 square meters (3,035.60 square feet) within 30 days.

However, if the complainant has not paid the stamp duty/allied charges required for the registration of the sale deed, the 30-day period will begin on the date she pays the stamp duty and registration charges.

On October 27, 2022, the commission ordered that compensation be paid to complainant Anita Singh in the form of 9% per annum interest on the deposited amount for the delay in delivery of actual legal possession of unit no A-1/33-GF.

After deducting any previously paid partial compensation, the compensation must be paid to the complainants, J Singh, and his wife, within 30 days, or the entire accumulated amount will bear interest at 12% per annum from the date of default until this payment is made.

Petitioners applied in 2010 for the purchase of residential unit A1/45-First Floor in Sector 3 Panchkula’s project “DLF Valley.”
