Consumer Panel Orders Rs 1.95 Crore Refund for Delayed Apartment Delivery
The Maharashtra Consumer Commission ordered Bombay Dyeing and Bombay Realty to refund Rs 1.95 crore plus compensation to two Jamshedpur homebuyers after the developers delayed delivering a booked apartment in Dadar East by over a year. The buyers had paid under a 30:70 payment plan but canceled their booking in 2016 due to construction delays and unjustified payment demands. The commission rejected the developers' limitation plea, citing ongoing demands and continuous cause of action, and ruled the retention of funds without possession as a continuing wrong.
