Oral Order :  11/06/2014 

(Per Hon’ble Justice Gopala Krishna Tamada, President)

                                                                   ***

1)                This appeal is directed against the order passed in Memo SR No. 516/2013 in EASR No. 529/2013 in PP No. 6/2012 in CC No. 58/2010 dt.  13.8.2013 on the file of Dist. Forum, Medak at Sanga Reddy whereby the petitioner seeking for a direction to get the flat registered by any of the respondents therein was rejected.

2)                The peculiar facts that led to filing of this case are that the appellant/complainant entered into an agreement of sale with R1/Op1   Sri K. SatyanarayanaRao who was the builder, to purchase a flat as early as in the year 2008.   In fact the land  where  R1/Op1  wanted to  build the flats  originally belongs to R2/Op2  SriV. Kalappa, and  after entering into  the developmental agreement, he put the said flats  for sale.    The appellant/complainant is one of those purchasers who paid entire sale consideration, and when the said flat was not registered in her favour, she approached the Dist. Forum and filed CC No.  58/2010 against the Opposite Parties.   On contest the Dist. Forum was pleased to allow the said C.C. and accordingly directed R1/Op1 i.e., K. Satyanarayana Rao to execute registered sale deed in favour of the appellant/complainant. 

 3)                As the said order has become final, and no registration had taken place, the complainant filed PP No. 6/2012 against R1/Op1 i.e., K. Satyanarayana Rao. Though notice was served the said Opposite Party was not present in Court, and in those circumstances NBWs   were issued  and the same could not be executed.  The Dist. Forum expressing its helplessness closed the said P.P.   Thereafter, the complainant approached the Dist. Forum  and filed  EASR No. 529/2013 before the Dist. Forum  seeking  directions to the Sub-Registrar  to get the flat  registered but the same was rejected by the Dist. Forum stating that  it cannot issue  such a direction for the reason  that there is no provision  in the  Consumer Protection Act.    

4)                Later the complainant approached the Dist. Forum and filed a memo in SR No. 516/2013  seeking direction to the land owner  Sri V. Kalappa, who is added as  R2/Op2  to get the flat registered  in her favour,  however  the  same was  rejected by the Dist. Forum.  In those circumstances, this appeal has been filed by the complainant. 

5)                 Mr. B. R. Pramod Kumar, counsel for R2/Op2 entered appearance   but he is continuously absent, and in those circumstances, as there was no other option, we heard the learned counsel for the appellant/complainant. 

6)                 Heard.

7)                 Apparently, there is an order in favour of the appellant/complainant, thereby the Dist. Forum specifically directed R1/Op1 to get the flat registered in her name.   But the said person i.e., R1/Op1 is absconding and his whereabouts are not known.  The Dist. Forum expressing its helplessness closed the P.P.  filed by the appellant/complainant.    As it is the contention of the learned counsel for the appellant/complainant that  the land owner  who is shown as R2/Op2  is still having rights over the land and he is  competent to  get the flat registered,   a direction can as well be issued and in that context  he also  placed reliance  on an order of this Commission in  FA 199/2004  against CD 313/1997, Dist. Forum-I, Hyderabad dt. 21.3.2007.

8)                 Having considered the said order, we are of the considered view that the facts in that case are identical to the facts in this case.   There also, when the Dist. Forum specifically directed Op1 to execute the registered sale deed and when he did not do so, and was absconding, this Commission specifically directed the land owner to get the flat registered.    This Commission in the said order observed as under:

“We have gone through the material on record.  The contention of the appellant that it is not possible for the appellant to execute the sale deed is unsustainable since the complainant cannot be made to suffer for non-execution of sale deed because of differences between the land owner and builder.   Therefore, we direct both the Opposite Parties to register Flat No. 306 in favour of the complainant while confirming the other aspects of the order of the Dist. Forum.”

9)                In those circumstances, we have no hesitation to hold that the land owner who is still having rights over the land shall get the flat registered in favour of the appellant/complainant.   Accordingly, this appeal is allowed.  No costs.
