             In brief the case of the complainant is that inspite of several reminders, the O.P developer has not handed over owner’s allocation i.e. the shop room in the ground floor as per agreement dated 25.11.2008 although one flat was handed over to the complainant on 22.10.2013 after completion of construction of building as owner’s allocation. Hence, this case with prayers for such relief/reliefs as contained in the petition of complaint.

            Despite service of notice upon the O.P, the O.P did not appear to contest the case by filing written version. Therefore, the case proceeded exparte against him.

            The complaint is supported by an affidavit and on verbal prayer the same is treated as an evidence.

                                                                        Decision with reasons

            The complainant is heard.

            From the unchallenged testimony the case of the complainant is proved and we find no reason to disbelieve the same.

            We find that the O.P in violation of the terms of the agreement executed between the complainant and the O.P on 25.11.2008 , has not handed over the shop room measuring 70 sq.ft in the ground floor of the building constructed by the O.P as a developer on the schedule property of the complainant/owner as owner’s allocation.

            In such circumstances, we hold that it will  meet the ends of justice if the O.P be directed to pay a sum of Rs.10 lacs towards the piece of the shop room in question as has been claimed by the complainant. The complainant need be compensated for mental agony, harassment etc. caused to him. The complainant is entitled to get litigation cost.

Hence,

                                                                        Ordered

That the complaint case bearing no.CC 499 of 2014 be allowed and the same is allowed exparte in part against the O.P with cost of Rs.5000/-.

The O.P is directed to pay a sum of Rs.10(ten) lacs towards the property in question, compensation to the tune of Rs.1 lac ( one lac) and the cost as mentioned hereinabove aggregating to Rs.11,05,000/- to the complainant within one month from this day failing which the entire amounts shall carry interest @10% p.a  from the date of default till realization.

 

Let a plain copy of this order be supplied to the parties free of cost.
