This Revision Petition under Section 21(b) of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 (for short “the Act”) has been filed by the complainant challenging order dated 11.12.2013, passed by the State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, U.T. Chandigarh, in F.A. No.526/2013. By the impugned order, the State Commission has affirmed the common order, dated 30.10.2013, passed by the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum-II, U.T. Chandigarh, dismissing petitioner’s complaint along with other connected complaints, questioning the demand of additional amount(s) by the respondents for the flats allotted to them. The short question that came up for consideration before the lower fora was whether the price quoted in the brochure issued for sale of flats under the Railway Group Housing Scheme, 2010 in Rail Vihar, VIP Road, Zirakpur (Punjab) was tentative or final. On an appraisal of the documentary evidence placed on record by both the parties and drawing support from Conditions No.6.1 and 9.5 in the brochure and Note No.1 of the Payment Schedule appended thereto, both the Forums have come to the conclusion that the price mentioned in the brochure was purely tentative and was subject to increase, depending upon the labour and material cost; alteration in specifications and for any other unforeseen reasons. The said concurrent finding of fact recorded by the fora below being based on unambiguous terms and conditions of the sale documents cannot be said to be illegal or materially irregular, warranting our interference under the revisional jurisdiction. The Revision Petition is dismissed accordingly. |
