1.                  The instant case was filed by complainant Smt. Nibedita Banerjee U/S 12 of

the C.P. Act, 1986 wherein the complainant  has  prayed for direction upon the o.ps. to deliver vacant possession of the ‘B’ schedule flat with undivided proportionate share of land out of ‘A’ schedule property and to execute and register proper deed of conveyance with respect to the same and to pay compensation to the tune of  Rs. 25,000/- and Rs. 10,000/- as litigation costs as the O.Ps. in spite of repeated requests failed to do the same. 

2.                  The o.p. nos. 1 to 4 filed the written version and contended interalia that Bhola

Nath Saha since deceased was not entrusted to execute any document for sale of flat and that there is no negligence on the part of the O.Ps.

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. There cannot be any

dispute that Bhola Nath Saha since deceased, the proprietor of Loke Nath Construction entered into an agreement with the complainant with respect to the  schedule mentioned property on 08-10-2011 as the constituted attorney of O.P. nos. 1 to 4 and paid a sum of Rs. 1,75,000/- in advance on different dates. Enclosure ‘C’ is the agreement and the money receipts showing the payment and it was settled that the balance amount of  Rs. 5,72,500/- was to be paid subsequently. Subsequently in the year 2012 Bhola Nath Saha expired without complete the construction work. The O.Ps. assured the complainant that the possession of the flat was to be delivered within 12 months but till Nov’12 the O.Ps. did not comply with their assurance.

5.      The O.Ps. are the constituted attorney of deceased Bhola Nath Saha and therefore

they cannot escape from the rigours of law as per the decision reported in 2008(3) WBLR ( CPSC ) 174.

We are, therefore, of the view that the prayer of the complainant shall be allowed. Both the points are accordingly disposed of.        

      Hence,

O     R     D      E      R      E        D

      That the C. C. Case No.  36 of 2013 ( HDF 36 of 2013 )  be  and the same is allowed on contest with  costs  against  the O.P. nos. 1 to 4 and ex parte  with costs against O.P. no. 5.    

      The O.Ps. be directed to deliver the vacant possession of the schedule mentioned property and to execute and register the sale deed with respect to the same in favour of the complainants after receiving the balance amount within 30 days from the date of this order. 

      The o.ps. be further directed to pay a sum of Rs. 20,000/- jointly and severally to the complainant  within 30 days from the date of this order  for causing mental pain and prolonged harassment to the complainant.

      The complainant is also entitled to a litigation cost of Rs. 5,000/-.

      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.
