F I N A L O R D E R
1. The complaint case ( HDF 75 of 2011 ) was filed by the complainant U/S
12 the C.P. Act, 1986, against the O.P. alleging deficiency in service wherein the complainant has prayed for direction upon the o.p. Sital Kumar Dutta to execute and register the deed of conveyance in respect of the flat measuring more or less 635 sq. ft. situated on the 2nd floor of southern corner of 5/1, Dr. Raj Kumar Kundu Lane, P.S. Shibpur, District – Howrah, together with compensation for Rs. 1,50,000/- and litigation costs, as the O.P. in spite of delivery of possession of the flat to the complainant on 30th June, 2005 after receiving the full consideration money of Rs. 4,46,000/- has refused to execute the deed of conveyance.
2. Proper notice was served upon the O.P. Sital Kumar Dutta. The postal endorsement shows ‘left’ which as per law is a good service.
3. Upon pleading of the complainant two points arose for determination.
a) Is there any deficiency in service on the part of the O.P. ?
b) 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. On scrutiny of the record and the enclosures it appears that the complainant entered into an agreement with the O.P. on 15-02-2004 with respect to the flat measuring 635 sq. ft. at 5/1, Dr. Rajkumar Kundu Lane, P.S. Shibpur, District – Howrah. The enclosures reflect that the O.P. received the total amount of Rs. 4,46,000/- as per the agreement. Possession was delivered on 30th June, 2005 to the complainant. It further appears that the O.P. in spite of receipt of the total consideration money and even after delivery of possession has not performed his part and obligation towards executing and registering the deed of conveyance. We are, therefore, of the view that this is a fit case for granting relief to the complainant in terms of his prayer. Both the points are accordingly disposed of.
In the result the application succeeds.
Hence,
O r d e r e d
