Courts Uphold Homebuyers' Rights on Delayed Possession and Refunds in Real Estate Cases
The Bombay High Court ruled that homebuyers who accept possession of delayed projects can still claim interest for the delay period, affirming their rights under Section 18 of RERA. Buyers may seek compensation or refunds depending on their choice to continue or exit the project. Separately, the Delhi High Court ordered a builder to refund Rs 18 lakh with interest to homebuyers coerced into a settlement after raising concerns about construction quality, highlighting legal protections for buyers against developer defaults and unfair practices.
