and promoted by the Company by claiming to offer a unique and
“unbelievable” plan with an assurance of “Assured Buy Back in 24
Months At 50% Return & Assured Lease for 9 Years”. Additionally,
the Company also represented and assured several other
advantages with respect to its project and Property including:
a) No lease rent being charged by the Company;
b) The ceiling height 4.5mts / 15 ft., which can be used to make
a mezzanine floor (by putting a slab);
c) No maintenance charges for the first 3 years after possession;
d) Surrounded with a density of 180 thousand families (approx.)
within a radius of 10 Km which will imply a good rental value
to cater the needs of end users;
e) easy access to Delhi.

iii. That Complainant was lured by the alluring and tall claims of the
representatives of the Company and its attractive brochure.
Consequently, on the basis of the assurances and projections made
by the Company, the Complainant in the month of August 2014
applied for / booked an apartment on WWS SS Payment Plan in the
proposed project of the Company.
iv. In accordance & Pursuant to execution of an Application Form,
Complainant deposited the initial demanded sum of Rs. 8,00,000/-
to the Company vide Cheque No. 14728 dated 22.08.2014 drawn
on Central Bank of India. The Company issued a receipt dated
30.09.2014 acknowledging the payment of the said amount.
Allotment Application Form signed by the Complainant herein is in
the possession of the Respondent itself and the original signed
copy, along with other executed documents were never provided to
the Complainant by Respondent Company despite promise.

A Copy of: the sample Allotment Application Form and receipt dated
30.09.2014 is filed with this complaint as Annexures.

v. That thereafter vide Cheque No. 14729 dated 09.10.2014 drawn on


Central Bank of India, another installment of INR 8,00,000/-
towards the token commitment payment was made to the
Company. A receipt dated 09.10.2014 was issued by the Company
in this regard. Further, after receiving the amount of INR
16,00,000/- as token commitment payment, the Company issued a
Booking Confirmation Letter dated 14.10.2014 to the Complainant
mentioning the details of the Property and the plan opted by the
Complainant.
A copy of: the receipt dated 09.10.2014 and booking confirmation
letter dated 14.10.2014 is filed along with this Complaint as

executed by the Complainant clearly provided for the completion of
the construction of the project and Property within 2 years i.e. the
project and the Property ought to have been completed by October
2016.

vii. Further, under the buyback scheme offered by the Company the
Property ought to have been bought back by the Company in 24
months at 50% return and furthermore an assured return / lease
was to be paid for 9 years. In this regard the Company vide its trail
mail dated 06.09.2014 also shared a draft MoU for the buyback
along with the calculation sheet depicting the return on investment
which the Complainant would get after buy back and 9 years of
lease / rent.
A copy draft MoU shared by the Company is filed by the

mail dated 06.09.2014 is filed by the Complainant with this
Complaint as an Annexure. A copy of the calculation sheet shared
by the Company is filed by the Complainant with this Complaint as
an Annexure.

viii. At this juncture, it is critical to point out that the Company in


addition to its defaults also indulged in unfair practices by not
sharing a counter signed copies of the agreements and executed
copies of the Allotment Form with the Complainant. In this regard,
the Complainant followed up with the Company on more than one
occasion, while his visits to Delhi NCR / project site, however, the
Company kept dilly dallying the issue and till date no counter signed
copies have been provided by the Company to the Complainant.
ix. Further, it is submitted that despite lapse of more than 5 years for
the date of allotment and a gross delay of over 3.5 years, the
project and the Property is neither fully constructed nor it is in a
condition of being completed anytime soon. It is furthermore
submitted that the Company, despite being in default and non-
completion of the project, kept asking for the installments. The
Complainant upon receiving multiple letters asking for the further
installment, raised the issue with the representative of the
Complainant at the project site who assured for timely completion
of the construction. However despite several follow ups the
Company did not withdraw the demands of installments (and issue
the fresh upon actual construction) nor shared the documents with
the Complainant. Copies of alleged installment requests and
reminders are filed by the Complainant with this Complaint as an
Annexure.

with the Respondent’s representatives, whereby, it was assured by
the Respondent Company that the

xi. That in February 2019, the Complainant once again decided to visit
the project site for inspection and follow up. It came as an utter
shock to the Complainant that the entire project was in a complete
state of disarray and even the construction of the base structure
was not completed in more than 5 years. Such conduct of the
Company is not only unreasonable and illegal but has also caused
mental harassment to the Complainant.

xii. In view of the above, the Complainant were compelled to issue a


legal notice/ demand notice to the Company dated 29.05.2019,
inter alia, seeking a delay compensation and delivery / offer of
possession within one month from the receipt of the notice.
However, the said legal notice neither elicited any response from
the Company nor any offer for the possession was made.
xiii. There is a (continuing) delay in handing over possession of over 3
years above the stipulated time for possession. The construction is
not completed till date, let alone the buy back and assured lease
commitment. Further, it has also recently come to Complainants
knowledge that various critical licenses (including registration under
RERA) qua the project and township are in not in place.
xiv. The Company has induced the Complainants to invest in their
project by making false and misleading statements promising them
world class amenities, luxuries and offers. Even after a lapse of 5
years from applying for the said Property, the Company has failed
to live up to its promise. It has wilfully defaulted and acted in
lackadaisical manner causing great loss to Complainants both
financially and mentally. Under such circumstances mentioned
herein above Complainant is no more interested to continue with
