Buyer Cannot Be Forced To Accept Possession After Unreasonable Delays: Delhi State Commission Holds M2K Infrastructure Liable For Deficiency In Service
Live LawThe Delhi State Commission, presided by Ms. Pinki and Ms. Bimla Kumari, held M2K Infrastructure liable for deficiency in service due to delay in handing over the possession of the flat to the buyer. Alleging poor construction quality and misrepresentation by the builder, the complainants filed a complaint before the State Commission. The builder denied any service deficiencies or unfair practices, accused the complainants of concealing facts and spreading falsehoods, and argued the dispute should be handled through arbitration as per the Apartment Buyer Agreement, beyond the Consumer Commission's jurisdiction. The commission highlighted that despite the builder offering possession in 2016, the complainants refused due to the flat's poor condition.
