…. Opposite Party

-: ORDER:-


Both these complaints claiming similar reliefs are field against the same the Opposite Party and therefore they are disposed off by this common order.


2. Through the Authorized Signatory of the Opposite Party in USA, the complainant entered into an agreement to purchase an Apartment POPELLO Sect D, Bldg 4, to be constructed on 17 acres of land in different survey numbers of GALIPOJI VILLAGE, Doddaballapur Taluk, Bangalore Rural District. The complainants in Case No.923/2009 entered into such agreement on 01/02/2007 and paid 31, 444.20 US$, the complainants in case No.924/2009 entered into such agreement on 23/01/2007 and paid 31, 226 US$. As per Clause-20 of the agreement they opted to get refund of the amount paid and the refund was due in August-2008 as per the letter addressed by the Opposite Party. In spite of such specific promise and undertaking given towards refund of the amount, the Opposite Party failed to keep up the same within the stipulated time. The complainants in case No.923/2009 also issued legal notice dated:30/09/2008 and 17/11/2008. In spite of receipt of the notices, the Opposite Party neither complied with the demand nor given any reply. Hence, these complaints.

The complainants in Case No.923/2009 have claimed Rs.15, 72, 210/- towards refund of Rs.31, 444.20 US$ at the exchange rate of Rs.50/- Per Dollar, Rs.94, 333/- towards interest on the said amount at 18% Per Annum from 14/08/2008 to 15/12/2008 and Rs.2, 00, 000/- towards damages for mental agony, in all Rs.18, 66, 542/-.

The complainants in Case No.924/2009 have claimed Rs.15, 61, 300/- towards refund of 31, 226 US$ at the exchange rate of Rs.50/- Per Dollar, Rs.93, 678/- towards interest on the said amount at 18% Per Annum from 15/08/2008 to 15/12/2008, Rs.2, 00, 000/- towards damages for mental agony, in all Rs.18, 54, 978/-.

3. In the version, the contention of the Opposite Party is as under:-


The Opposite Party conceived and conceptualized the project “Royal Garden Villas and Resorts” on the property measuring approximately 17 acres in several survey numbers at Galipooje Village, Doddaballapur Taluk, Bangalore Rural District. For the implementation of the project, the Opposite Party already acquired lands measuring 17 acres 28 guntas and in possession of the same as an absolute owner. It filed necessary application on 25/05/2006 before BIAAPAA seeking approval of the project and the said project is pending consideration till today. The complainants coming to know of the said project approached the Opposite Party for purchase of a Villa. At that stage itself it was brought to the notice of the complainants that the project falls within the jurisdiction of BIAAPPA and the project shall commence only when the approval of the project is granted by BIAAPAA and being fully aware of this aspect, the complainants agreed to book a Villa, entered into an booking agreement and paid 30% of the total purchase price as booking amount.


The balance of 70% was to be paid by the complainants in 18 monthly installments from the start of construction. The Opposite Party has invested huge sums in the above project and the same is pending implementation as the Master Plan of BIAAPAA has not yet been approved by the Government of Karnataka. By the letter dated:19/12/2007, the Member Secretary of BIAAPAA has informed that only on approval of the Master Plan by the Government of Karnataka, BIAAPAA will consider the approval of the project. Therefore, the Opposite Party has no other alternative but to wait for the approval for implementation of the project.


The Opposite Party has initiated all necessary actions on its part for the proper implementation of the project and the delay caused is due to the delay in approval of the Master Plan by the Government of Karnataka which has affected the implementation of the project of the Opposite Party so also numerous projects coming under BIAAPAA. Even though the booking agreement stipulates the time frame, the cause of delay can only be attributed to force-majeaure and the Opposite Party cannot be held liable for the delay in execution of the project which is beyond the control of the Opposite Party. Thus, there is no deficiency in service on the part of Opposite Party and as such the grounds raised by the complainants are not tenable. On these grounds, the Opposite Party has prayed for dismissal of the complaints.


4. In support of the respective contentions, both the parties have filed affidavit. We have heard the arguments on both side.


5. The points for consideration are:-

1. Whether the complainant has proved deficiency in service on the part of the Opposite Party?


2. Whether the complainant entitled to the relief prayed for in the complaint?

6. Our findings are:-

Point No(1) : In the Affirmative

Point No(2) : As per final order,

for the following:-

-:REASONS:-

7. The fact that the complainants entered into booking agreement proposing to purchase a Villa and that they have made payment of 30% of the total price of the Villa is admitted. The complainants have also produced the copy of the booking agreement entered into between them and the Opposite Party. Clause-20 of the agreement provides as under:-

“I/We understand that the project will receive the necessary clearance eight months after the date of this Booking Agreement. In the event the approvals do not come through by that date, the booking amount can, at my request be refunded within 90 days or applied to any other project of RGCEPL or its affiliates”.


Therefore, as per the above Clause it was necessary on the part of the Opposite Party to get necessary clearance from the concerned authorities within eight months from the date of the agreement and if the Opposite Party failed to do so, the complainants are entitled to seek refund of the booking amount. The parties have also agreed that the refund shall be effaced within 90 days from the date of request for refund. Admittedly the Opposite Party failed to obtain necessary approval from the concerned authorities for commencement of the project and therefore the complainants have invoked Clause-20 of the agreement and have sought for refund of the amount paid.


By the letter dated:21/04/2008 the Opposite Party informed the complainants in Case No.923/2009 that the refund for 31, 444.20 US$ is due on 14/08/2008. By the letter dated 22/04/2008, the Opposite Party informed the complainants in Case No.924/2009 that the refund sought is due on 15/05/2008. Therefore, the Opposite Party also accepted the refund request made by the complainants and promised to refund the amount paid in August-2008. Alleging non refund of the amount, the complaints are filed on 22/04/2009 about eight months after the date of refund promised by the Opposite Party.


Having regard to the admissions made by the Opposite Party in the letter addressed to the complainants in April-2008 now it is not open to the Opposite Party to oppose the claim giving reason for the delay. As per the agreement it was responsibility of the Opposite Party to get necessary approval from the concerned authorities for starting the project within the period stipulated in the Clause-20 of the agreement. When the Opposite Party failed to do so, the complainants are entitled to invoke Clause-20 of the agreement and to seek refund of the amount paid. In spite of its commitment as per the letters addressed in April-2008, the Opposite Party has failed to refund the amount. This act and failure to obtain approval within the agreed period amounts to deficiency in service.


Therefore, the complainants are entitled to seek refund of the amount paid to the Opposite Party as booking amount. However, in our opinion, the interest claimed at 18% Per Annum on the amount to be refunded is on the higher side. It is just and proper to award interest at 10% Per Annum. Though the complainants in each cases have claimed Rs.2, 00, 000/- towards damages, no reasons are assigned for such claim. In our opinion awarding interest on the amount to be refunded will compensate the complainants for the inconvenience and hardship if any suffered by them. In the result, we pass the following:-


-:ORDER:-


1. Both the complaints are allowed.


2. The Opposite Party is directed to refund Indian Currency equivalent to 31, 444.20 US $ to the complainant in Case No.923/2009 and Indian Currency equivalent to 31, 226 US $ to the complainant in case No.924/2009 according to the rate of exchange as on 15/08/2008 together with interest thereon at 10% Per Annum from 15/08/2008 till the date of payment and shall also pay costs of Rs.2, 000/- to each complainant.


3. Compliance of this order shall be made within eight weeks from the date of communication.


4. The original copy of this order shall be kept in complaint No.923/2009 and a true copy thereof shall be kept in complaint in No.924/2009.


5. Send a copy of this order to both parties free of costs, immediately.


6. Pronounced in the Open Forum on this the 04th Day of AUGUST 2009.

Royal palms india mumbai goregaon
This builder is having no ethics and professionalism. He is duping many people and booking his flats and not delivering as per schedule and the promises mentioned in the contract.

That area is so good and could fetch Rs. 12, 000 per sq ft. because of his stupid employees and un professional contractors building, the whole area has become shit.

there is no proper water, no proper parkings for each building, no lifts running properly.

I request you not to book any flat unless you see what he offers you. You pay him on what you get. Never believe his promises.

Good luck.

Royal Palms- garden view apt. Mumbai-goregaon
I am one of the many dissappointed customer of Roya Palms, I had booked a 1BHK flat in Garden view in 2007 and was assured posession in April 2008 but it has being more than a year and no sign of posession.

I have paid the entire amount to them as per their schedule, and when we talk about compensation they say we will waive off the maintenance of the flat for one year.

Let us all act upon it and take a strict action against this cheaters.

You may reach me on 9819606281.

Royal Palms Garden View - nothing happening
Hi,

We are also the victims of Royal Palms - gave all the slab instalments over a year ago and now no one answers phone calls or responds to emails. Please update if anyone has any further information.

If any action is being planned or going on, we would also like to join in. Is there a group already formed?

Thank you
