Allahabad HC Rules Homebuyer Can Claim Interest Despite Accepting Delayed Possession
The Allahabad High Court ruled that a homebuyer retains the right to claim interest for delayed possession even after accepting the flat later. The case involved a buyer who booked a flat in 2010 with possession due in 2012, but the developer delivered it in 2017 without necessary approvals. The court rejected the developer's claim that delays were due to a National Green Tribunal order, noting the delay occurred before the restriction. The court emphasized that the Supreme Court's 'zero period' benefit applies only during actual restraint periods.
