Over three decades ago in 1995, a Mumbai-based resident had paid a sum of Rs 25 lakh to purchase 11 commercial units in a complex located at Jogeshwari (West). The buyer had bought the units to carry on his own business and earn his livelihood through self-employment. However, the builder never started the construction, let alone deliver the booked units.
Despite accepting the consideration amount, the builder failed to even start the construction of the project, failing to hand over vacant and peaceful possession of the subject galas. Alleging that the builder committed deficiency in service and indulged in unfair trade practice, the complainant had filed a consumer complaint.
