Vide
order dated 12.08.2022, the authority appointed Shri Ramesh Kumar, Enquiry
Officer of the authority to enquire into the affairs of the promoter regarding
the project and to give his report.
The project seems to be abandoned one as neither any
progress w.r.t. the same has been received nor there is anything on the record
to show the construction being carried out at the spot by the promoter. The
project was launched by the respondent after obtaining a license in this regard
from DTCP, Haryana vide license No. 91 of 2013 dated 26.10.2013. The allotment
of the unit was made in favour of the allottees and the due date for completion
of the project was fixed upto the validity of registration which comes to the
year 2025. More than about 9 years from the date of the booking of the units
have already expired. There is no hope that construction of the project is
likely to be completed by the target date. It is unlikely that the project
having number of units with multiple stories is likely to be completed within a
short span leading to an inference to project being abandoned.
The Enquiry Officer Shri Ramesh Kumar retired
DSP appointed during the last hearing to enquire about the above project has
submitted a preliminary enquiry report which is taken on record. The counsel
for both the parties request for supply
of its copy, accordingly a copy be supplied to both the counsels for the
parties today itself.
Further, the
respondent is directed to submit a proposal for payment of refund to be made in the above
project as there no possibility of its completion in the foreseen able future
inspite of a lapse of more than 9 years
since allotment of the units of above
project.
The
respondent No.2 is a financial institution who has extended loans to the
allottees and shall submit the list of the loan amount as well as outstanding
dues in respect of concerned allottees,
which are to be considered while making refund to allottees by the
promoter-respondent.
Matter
to come up on 19.10.2022 for further proceedings. |

It was brought to the notice of the authority that on the site, work
stands still from many years as per submission of counsel for the
complainant. He also requested that authority may initiate enquiry into
the affairs of the promoter of this project under section 35 of the Act 2016.
The authority decided to appoint Shri Ramesh Kumar Enquiry Officer of the
authority to enquire into the affairs of the promoter regarding this project.
The Enquiry Officer shall also report about the compliance of the obligations
by the promoter regarding project and more specifically regarding having 70% of
the total amount collected from the allottee of this project minus the
proportionate land cost and construction cost whether deposited in the separate
RERA account as per the requirement of the Act 2016 and Rules, 2017.
Further, the counsel for the complainant made a request that account of
the project shall be freezed so that in case authority decides to allow refund
due to discontinuation of the project or the project stands still or no further
progress even after lapse of reasonable period after entering into BBA (as no
due date of possession has been mentioned and keeping in view the
judgment passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in case titled as Fortune
Infrastructure and Ors. Versus Trevor D’Lima and Ors (12.03.2018) this
period for delivery of possession may be taken as 3 years) to safeguard the
interest of the allottee.
The authority for the purpose of discharging its function under the
provisions of this Act or Rules or regulation made thereunder hereby directs
the promoter to submit report of the status on the project alongwith:-
1.
Interim
RERA Panchkula issued a registration certificate for the above project being
developed by M/s Vatika Limited in the form REP-III as prescribed in the
Haryana Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Rules, 2017 vide registration
no. 213 of 2017 on 15.09.2017 valid upto 15.09.2025 under section 5 of the Act
ibid. But inspite of lapse of more than 4 years since grant of registration, It
was alleged by the counsel of complainant that there is no physical work
progress at site except for some digging work and appears to be abandoned
project. No quarterly progress report is being filed by the promoter giving the
status of work progress required under section 11 of the Act, 2016.
2.
The
license no. 91 of 2013 granted by DTCP has expired on 26.10.2017 and the same
is not yet renewed/revived, while BBA has been signed declaring the validity of
license. It becomes amply clear that the promoter is not only
defaulting/omitting in discharge of its obligations under the Real Estate
(Regulation and Development) Act, 2016 but at the same time, violating the provisions
of the Haryana Development and Regulation of Urban Area, Act 1975 also.
3.
The
authority directs the respondent to furnish the details of bank account along
with the statements of all the accounts associated with these promoters.
4.
In order
to safeguard the interest of the allottees and keeping in view the above facts,
the authority exercising its power under section 36 of the Act, directs the
promoter’s M/s Vatika limited to stop operations from bank accounts of the
above project namely “Turning Point”.
5.
Therefore,
the banks are directed to freeze the accounts associated with the
above-mentioned promoters in order to restrict the promoter from further
withdrawal from the accounts till further order.
The Enquiry Officer shall also report on the above issues.
The authority is satisfied that an act in contravention of this Act or
the Rules and Regulation made thereunder has been committed and continues to be
committed as the promoter has failed to deliver possession on the due date, the
BBA having been entered at variance with the model BBA as provided in the
Haryana Rules of 2017, no quarterly progress reports having been filed, no
annual statement of audit of the project accounts submitted with the authority
etc. the authority hereby orders to restrain the promoter from withdrawing any
fund from the project account or from the accounts wherever the money collected
from the allottee has been deposited in violation of provisions of the Act in
any account except the master account, RERA account or free account and
authority considers it necessary to issue such directions in the interest of
the allottee.
The proxy counsel present on behalf of the respondent was asked to
immediately convey the directions of the authority to the promoter and the
concerned bank branches.
The Enquiry Officer to submit his report within 10 days i.e., by
22.08.2022. The promoter is directed to make available books of accounts and
other relevant documents required for enquiry before the Enquiry Officer on
17.08.2022 at 11.00 AM in the office of the authority. The company Secretary
and Chief Financial Officer and the officer responsible for day-to-day affairs
of the project also to appear before the Enquiry Officer who is conducting
enquiry on behalf of the authority and summons in this regard be issued to them
exercising powers of the Civil Court under the Code of Civil Procedure 1908
read with section 35 (2) of the Act, 2016. The concerned officers are also
directed to bring along the record of allotment and status of the project.
The Enquiry Officer shall be assisted by Shri. Shashank Sharma, Engineer
Executive. The registry is directed to do the needful immediately.
The
counsel for the complainant also alleged that at the time of entering into BBA,
the allottees were wrongly informed about having a valid license from the DTCP
on the date of signing BBA.
The
counsel for the complainant was asked to submit his written submission as why
he is seeking full refund in spite of due date not yet lapsed.
Matter to come up on 30.08.2022 for further proceedings. |

FIRST HEARING |
In pursuance to notice, the respondent put in
appearance through their respective counsel.
2.
Written reply is not ready. A date is requested. Adjournment though
opposed but is granted. Let the same be filed 3 weeks prior to the date fixed
with a copy to the other side and the matter be put up 06.07.2021 for
arguments.
3.
It is pleaded on behalf of the complainant that on the basis of tripartite
agreement, the respondent-builder promised assured rent till possession and
even offered rental accommodation. Though for some time, rent of that
accommodation was being given by the respondent-builder but it is going to stop
to pay the same putting the complainant in an awkward position. So, till
possession of the allotted accommodation is offered to the allottee, the
respondent-builder be restrained from using any coercive methods to evict from
the rented accommodation by relying upon the ratio of law laid down in cases of
Fortune Infrastructure and Another Vs. Trevor D’lima and Others
2018 5 Supreme Court cases 442, Bikram
Chatterji and Others Vs. Union of India and Others(2019) 19 Supreme
Court Cases 161 and Imperia Structures Ltd. Vs. Anil Patni &
Ors. MANU/SC/0811/2020. There is no dispute about the ratio of law
laid down in these cases but admittedly the due date of handing over possession
of the allotted unit has not yet expired. Though there may be breach of
contract entered into between the parties but it is a question of fact and law
as to whether the respondent-builder is liable to the allottee till possession
of the allotted unit. That fact can only be determined when the pleadings of
the parties are complete and not otherwise. As already detailed above, written
statements by respondents yet to be filed and without waiting for their
response, no interim directions can be issued. |
