A residential construction dispute in Kerala has ended with the Kollam District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission directing a Thiruvananthapuram-based builder to pay compensation after a house constructed for a customer was found to have several serious defects.
The commission ordered Luxury Builders, managed by Jayadevan M.V., to pay Rs 20 lakh towards repair costs and damages, along with Rs 5 lakh as compensation for mental agony and inconvenience. It also awarded Rs 25,000 towards litigation expenses.
