Homebuyers Win Compensation for Delayed Possession and Contract Breaches by Developers
Two homebuyers won legal cases against developers for delayed possession and unmet promises. In Maharashtra, MahaRERA ordered a builder to pay stamp duty, registration charges, and Rs 5.4 lakh interest after failing to honor terms including exclusive amenities. In Delhi, the State Consumer Commission directed a developer to refund Rs 38 lakh with interest and pay Rs 1 lakh for mental agony after a 20-year delay in handing over a plot. Both rulings highlight consumer protection against developer deficiencies.
