The present complaint
was filed on 18.02.2020 and reply on behalf of respondent was received on
18.08.2022
File has been received from the Adjudicating Officer in view of the
judgment dated 11.11.2021 passed by the Apex Court in case titled as M/s Newtech Promoters and Developers Pvt Ltd
Versus State of U.P. and Ors. (2021-22(1) RCR(Civil) 357) wherein it was held that the matters regarding refund and interest under
sec. 18(1) are to be decided by the authority and matters regarding adjudging
compensation to be decided by the adjudicating officer.
The application filed in the form CAO with
the adjudicating officer and on being transferred to the authority in view of
the judgement quoted above, the issue before authority is whether the authority should proceed further
without seeking fresh application in the form CRA for cases of refund along with
prescribed interest in case allottee wishes to withdraw from the project on
failure of the promoter to give possession as per agreement for sale. It has
been deliberated in the proceedings dated 10.5.2022 in CR No. 3688/2021
titled Harish Goel Versus Adani M2K Projects LLP and it is observed
that there is no
material difference in the contents of the forms and the different headings
whether it is filed before the adjudicating officer or the authority.
Keeping in view the judgement of Hon'ble
Supreme Court in case titled as M/s Newtech Promoters and Developers Pvt
Ltd Versus State of U.P. and Ors. (Supra), the authority is proceeding
further in the matter where allottee wishes to withdraw from the project and
the promoter has failed to give possession of the unit as per agreement for
sale irrespective of the fact whether application has been made in form CAO/
CRA. Both the parties proceeded further in the matter accordingly. The Hon'ble
Supreme Court in case of Varun Pahwa v/s Renu Chaudhary, Civil appeal no.
2431 of 2019 decided on 01.03.2019 has ruled that procedures are hand
made in the administration of justice and a party should not suffer injustice
merely due to some mistake or negligence or technicalities. Accordingly, the
authority is proceeding further to decide the matter based on the facts
mentioned in the complaint and the reply received from the respondent and
submissions made by both the
parties during the proceedings.
