          The complainants have paid advance amount as mentioned above through cheques/cash and OPs having received said advance amount executed an agreement of sale in favour of each party on the dates mentioned above.  The OPs promised and assured that they will execute the sale deed in favour of the complainants within 30 days from the date of approval of layout plan from the competent authority.  However, the OPs went on postponing the registration of the sale deed on one or the other pretext.  The complainants visited the OPs several times with a request to execute the sale deed in their favour by taking the balance amount.  However, the OPs went on taking time for execution of the sale deed.  Frustrated by the attitude of the OPs, the complainants were compelled to issue legal notice to the OPs demanding refund of the advance amount as the OPs failed either to complete the formation of the layout within a reasonable time much less within stipulated time and execute the registered sale deed.  Despite the said legal notice, the OPs failed to refund the advance amount.  OPs deliberately avoiding refund of the advance amount.  The conduct of OPs amounts to grave deficiency in service on their part.  The OPs with a sole intention to cheat the complainants are avoiding the repayment of the advance amount.  Therefore, the complainants had to approach the Forum for redressal.

 

For the aforesaid reasons, each of the complainants prays for refund of the advance amount paid to OPs under the agreement of sale together with interest @ 24% p.a and compensation of Rs.1,00,000/- for mental agony, harassment and inconvenience caused together with litigation cost.

 

4. The notice of the complaints were issued to the OPs however the same were returned with an endorsement by the postal authorities that the OPs have left the address.  Thereafter, the complainants took substitute service by publishing the notice of the complaint in the local news paper.  Despite publication of the notice in the news paper, OPs failed to appear and contest the complaints.  Therefore, the OPs were placed ex-parte.

 

5. Thereafter, each of the complainants were called upon to file their affidavit evidence.  Accordingly each of the complainants have filed their affidavit evidence in lieu of oral evidence to substantiate the allegations made in their respective complaints.  The complainants have also submitted their written arguments.

 

6. Perused the allegations made in the complaint, the sworn testimony of the complainants, copies of agreements of sale, receipts and other materials placed on record.

 

7. As already stated above, the OPs for the reasons best known to them despite publication of notice of the complaint in the local newspaper failed to appear before the Forum and contest the claim of the complainant.  The copy of the agreement of sale and the receipts produced by each of the complainants confirms the payment of advance amount by each one of the complainants as stated in their complaint.  It is apparent from the material placed on record the OPs having executed the agreement of sale by receiving the advance amount, as mentioned in each of the agreement of sale failed to execute registered sale deeds in respect of the sites as mentioned in the agreement of sale, in favour of the complainants without there being any valid cause.

 

8. Though each of the complainants were ready to pay the balance amount on the date of execution of sale deeds but the OPs did not come forward to execute the sale deed in terms of the agreement of sale.  It appears that the OPs did not form the layout at all as promised by them.  It appears that the OPs have purchased certain lands but failed to get the same converted for the purpose of laying residential layout.  From the conduct of OPs, it appears that they received the advance amount with an oblique motive of cheating the complainants, even much before purchase of the lands.  The OPs have collected huge advance amount from each one of the complainants promising them their dream sites at an early date.  However, the OPs cheated the complainants and failed to form any residential layout.  The OPs having failed to form the layout and execute the registered sale deed in favour of the complainants ought to have refunded the advance amount collected from each of the complainants.  The conduct of the OPs amounts to grave deficiency in service and also amounts to unfair trade practice.  It is apparent from the conduct of the OPs that they collected huge advance amount from each of the complainant with an oblique motive of cheating them.  Therefore, the said act of OPs also amounts to cheating punishable U/s.420 of Indian Penal Code.

 

9. We do not have reasons to disbelieve the sworn testimony of the complainants coupled with the documents such as agreement of sale, receipts etc., produced by the complainants.  For the discussions made above, we are of the opinion that the OPs have to be directed to refund the advance amount received from each one of the complainants together with interest @ 18% p.a.  The conduct of OPs must have caused mental agony, harassment and lot of inconvenience to each of the complainants.  Therefore, the OPs have to be directed to pay compensation of Rs.1,00,000/- towards deficiency in service on their part together with litigation cost of Rs.3,000/-.  The order could not be passed within the stipulated time due to heavy pendency.   

   

10. In the result, we proceed to pass the following:
