In Brief
A property developer cancelled a flat allotment and later violated a court-ordered stay by illegally selling the apartment to a third party. The National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission allowed the buyer's complaint and ordered specific performance with a substitute apartment. The Supreme Court directed payment of dues for the substitute apartment but, noting the developer's serious misconduct—breach of the stay order, failure to provide required documents, and causing prolonged delay—reduced the amount due through equitable adjustment. The buyer was directed to pay Rs. 1.41 crore in lieu of all outstanding charges and to execute a sale deed thereafter.",
