TANEJA GROUP's a flagship company, Taneja Developers and Infrastructures (TDI) Ltd guilty of unfair trade practice, UT district consumer disputes redressal forum has directed the developer to refund Rs 12 lakh to a complainant. Chanchal Narang, resident of Sector 4, Panchkula, had booked a plot in the project of TDI in Mohali by depositing Rs 12 lakh on 2008, September.. The complainant further alleged that as per the agreement, the offer of allotment of the plot was to be made within one year but nothing to the effect was forthcoming.
Ultimately, the complainant had to approach GMADA office to know the actual status of the project, wherefrom, he came to know that the respondent had accepted the advance without obtaining statutory clearances in contravention of clear stipulations of the government.
Taneja Developers and Infrastructures, in its reply, submitted that no advertisement had ever been published by the company in order to launch any booking of the plots for its project at Mohali. It was also submitted that the offer of allotment was sent to the complainant in 2010, March and later, in 2010 September, but the complainant refused to accept the offer and did not pay the remaining instalments according to the payment schedule.
The forum, in its order said, It was unfair trade practice on the part of the builder to collect money from the prospective buyers without obtaining the required permission. It was the duty of the builder/promoter to obtain the requisite permission or sanction, and thereafter, recover the consideration money from the purchaser of the flat/buildings.There was definitely and surely not only deficiency of service on the part of the developers but also that they had indulged in an unfair trade practice by making offers of booking of the plot without obtaining all essential and mandatory clearances from the government authorities concerned . The developer refund Rs 12 lakh to the complainant and pay him Rs 7,000 as cost of litigation.""
