F I N A L O R D E R
1. The instant case was filed by complainants U/S 12 of the C.P. Act, 1986 wherein the complainants have prayed for direction upon the o.ps. to make over the completion certificate to the complainants with respect to the building as mentioned in the schedules from A to F and to pay compensation of Rs. 5 lacs together with litigation costs as the o.ps. in spite of repeated requests did not pay heed. Hence the complaint.
2. The o.p. no. 1 in his written version contended interalia that the instant complaint has been filed to harass the o.p. So it should be dismissed.
3. The o.p. no. 3 in his written version stated that o.p. no. 1 executed a power of
attorney in favour of the o.p. no. 4 with respect to the suit flats and as such the o.p. no. 3 has no responsibility for making over the completion certificates to the petitioners.
4. The o.p. no. 4 in his written version stated that he is the only building
contractor. So it is not his responsibility to supply the completion certificate. So the complaint should be dismissed.
5. Upon pleadings of the parties two points arose for determination :
i) Is there any deficiency in service on the part of the O.Ps. ?
ii) Whether the complainants are entitled to get any relief as prayed for ?
DECISION WITH REASONS :
6. Both the points are taken up together for consideration. As the complainants
have been in possession of the suit flats no question of limitation does arise in view of the latest position of law.
7. Admittedly the complainants are in possession of the suit flats; admittedly the completion certificates were not made over to the complainants by the o.ps. Unless the completion certificates are not provided, the mutation work cannot be effected. The pleas that there was no agreement for supply of the same is too fragile to merit acceptance. Non supply of the same amounts to gross deficiency in service.
Therefore, we are of the view that this is a fit case where the prayer of the complainants shall be allowed. Both the points are accordingly disposed of.
Hence,
O R D E R E D
That the C. C. Case No. 446 of 2013 ( HDF 446 of 2013 ) be and the same is allowed on contest with costs as against the O.Ps.
The O.Ps. be directed to supply the completion certificates with respect to the suit flats to the complainants within 30 days from the date of this order
The o.ps. do pay jointly or severally Rs. 10,000/- to the complainants as litigation costs.
No order as to compensation.
The complainants are 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
BY ME.
