Consumer Commissions Order Refunds for Delayed Possession and Incomplete Renovations
Two consumer commission rulings addressed disputes involving homebuyers and contractors. In Maharashtra, a builder was ordered to refund Rs 1.95 crore plus compensation to buyers after delays in flat possession were deemed a deficiency in service. In Kerala, a contractor was directed to pay Rs 5.10 lakh for incomplete and defective home renovation work, including compensation for mental agony and litigation costs. Both cases highlight consumer protection against delays and substandard services in real estate and construction.
