Complainant filed an application U/s 69 (2) of Consumer Protection Act, 2019 praying for con-donation of delay in filing the instant complaint case. Heard Ld. Advocate for the Complainant.It is coming out from the complaint as well as the agreement for sale dated 13.08.15, the OP was required to hand over the flat in question to the Complainant by 31st March,2016. So the cause of action arose on and from 31.03.16. But the instant complaint was filed on 26.06.24. Ld. Advocate for the Complainant submitted that the OP was in the habit of taking time for handing over possession of the flat to the Complainant. But the Ld.
