Delhi Commission Awards Rs 80,000 to Gurugram Couple Over Home Renovation Delay
In 2014, a Gurugram couple hired interior designers to renovate their apartment within 45 days to meet their lease deadline. The project was delayed due to contractors hired separately by the couple, leading them to stay in a hotel temporarily. The Delhi consumer commission ruled the designers were not responsible for the delay but faulted them for failing to inform the couple about it. The couple also reported defects in supplied furniture. The commission awarded Rs 80,000 in compensation and litigation costs to the couple.
