                                                 F  I   N   A    L       O   R   D    E     R

 

1.               The instant case was filed by complainant U/S 12 of the C.P. Act, 1986 wherein the complainant has  prayed for direction upon the o.ps. to execute the sale deed in favour of the complainant in respect of the flat as mentioned in schedule ‘B’ or alternatively to pay a sum of Rs. 13 lakhs being the present price of the flat and to pay compensation to the tune of  Rs.4 lakhs together with other costs as the o.ps. in violation of the agreement dated 05-03-2009 and in spite of receiving major portion of the consideration money did not execute the same on the pretexts of civil litigation.

 

2.               The o.ps. in their  written version contended interalia that several title suits are pending before the  ld. Civil Judge, Jr. Division, Howrah, and the execution process cannot be proceeded in view of the injunction passed by the civil court. 

 

3.        Upon pleadings of both parties two points arose for determination :

 

i)          Is there any deficiency in service on the part of the O.Ps.  ?

ii)                  Whether the complainant is   entitled to get any relief as prayed for ?

 

DECISION  WITH   REASONS      :

 

4.               Both the points are  taken up together for consideration. Admittedly  T. S. No. 225 of 2013 and 200 of 2013 are pending before the ld.  Civil Judge ( Jr.  Division ) 1st  Court, Howrah, over the self-same matter.  The injunction order has been extended time to time and is in force till 09-04-2014 with respect to the A-1 property which is the subject matter of the complainant. In the instant case,  Section 3 of the  C.P. Act, 1986 cannot be invoked in view of specific direction of the ld.  Civil  Court. 

 

5.               As the o.ps. already received the major portion of the consideration money and the disposal of the civil litigation shall take considerable time for disposal, the o.ps. who received the amount shall be liable to refund the same to the complainant together with interest.  Both the points are accordingly disposed of.   

 

      Hence,                             

O     R     D      E      R      E        D

     

 

      That the C. C. Case No. 374   of 2013 ( HDF 374 of 2013 )  be and the same is   allowed in part as against the o.ps. with costs.  

 

      The O.Ps. jointly and severally  be directed to refund the sum of Rs. 6,30,000/- to the complainant together with interest @ Rs. 10% p.a. since December, 2012 till full satisfaction within 30 days from the date of this order, failing the amount shall carry interest @ of  Rs. 18% p.a.    

 

      The o.ps. do further pay Rs. 2 lakhs as compensation to the complainant for causing mental pain, harassment and frustration to his dream for a flat and Rs. 5,000/- for litigation costs.  

     

      The complainant is at liberty to put the decree into execution after expiry of the appeal period.

      Supply the copies of the order to the parties, as per rule.

 

DICTATED  &    CORRECTED
