In Brief
This case involved flat purchasers claiming compensation for delayed possession and breach of representations regarding amenities against a real estate developer. The Supreme Court held that purchasers retain the right to claim compensation for delayed possession under consumer protection laws even after obtaining possession, unless bound by a valid settlement deed. The Court rejected limiting compensation to a fixed rate per square foot, finding that developers must be held accountable for breaching representations about promised amenities. Separate parking charges, when itemized and disclosed, are valid. The appeals were partly allowed, setting aside the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission's dismissal of the consumer complaints.
