In Brief
A builder failed to execute the Deed of Conveyance and obtain necessary occupancy certificates for a flat sold under the Maharashtra Ownership Flats Act, 1963, constituting deficiency of service. The National Commission's order directed specific performance (execution of deed and certificate within 90 days) and compensation. The Supreme Court partly allowed the appeal, upholding the compensation already decided on merit by the State Commission but modifying the Court's other pecuniary reliefs because they lacked adequate evidentiary foundation and were not adequately considered by lower authorities.
