M/s Kapil Properties through its Proprietor Subhash and others-Opposite Parties (hereinafter referred to as ‘Coloniser and Developers’) are in appeal against the order dated March 21st, 2014 passed by District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum, Faridabad (for short ‘the District Forum’), whereby it directed the opposite parties/appellants to pay Rs.3,08,000/- alongwith interest at the rate of 9% per annum from the date of deposit, that is, 25th July, 2011 till its realization and Rs.10,000/- compensation towards mental harassment and litigation expenses, to Vijay Shankar Tiwari-complainant/respondent.

2.      Vijay Shankar Tiwari-complainant, booked a plot admeasuring 70 Square yards situated in Mauza Mavai, Faridabad. He paid Rs.3,08,000/- to the opposite parties. An agreement in this regard dated July 25th, 2011 (Annexure C-1) was executed between the parties. However, the possession of the plot was not delivered because the opposite parties entered into the agreement (Annexure C-1) to sell the plot to the complainant without obtaining permission from the State Government of Haryana with respect to Change of Land Use (CLU).  So sale-deed could not be executed in favour of the complainant. The complainant sought refund of the amount paid by him to the Coloniser/Developers but they refused. Hence, complainant under Section 12 of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986 was filed before the District Forum.

3.      The opposite parties/appellants did not appear despite service, hence were proceeded exparte.

4.      After evaluating the pleadings and evidence of the complainant, the District Forum allowed complaint and directed the opposite parties as detailed in paragraph No.1 of this order.

5.      Indisputably, the complainant had booked a plot with the opposite parties vide agreement (Annexure C-1).  He paid Rs.3,08,000/- to the opposite parties but on the date of agreement (Annexure C-1), that is, July 25th, 2011 the opposite parties (Coloniser/Developers) had not obtained CLU from State Government of Haryana and for that reason sale-deed could not be executed in favour of the complainant. It is the opposite parties, who without obtaining necessary permission, which is mandatorily required under the rules to have obtained necessary permission before they execute agreement and thus the Coloniser/Developers were certainly deficient in service. In this view of the matter, the complainant was justified to seek refund of the amount paid by him and the Coloniser/Developers are liable to pay the amount.

6.      In view of the above, it is held that the opposite parties/appellants are liable to refund Rs.3,08,000/­- to the complainant, which the District Forum has awarded. Thus, no case for interference is made out.

7.      Hence, the appeal is dismissed being devoid of merits.
