Noida: Shashi Gopal reserved an apartment in Palace Heights, a home society job from Noida Extension’s Sector 1, almost a decade ago.
In 2018he transferred on the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) hunting refund to the floor that the programmer hasn’t managed to provide the job even after seven decades.
Though NCDRC confessed his case from 2018, nothing big has proceeded from the case so far.
“While we have been supposed to receive our apartments by 2015, it is 2021 and we’re stuck.
Although the event was tabled for hearing NCDRC at October 2019, nothing has proceeded over the previous year.
Our hopes to get a refund also have been hurried,” Gopal told TOI.
Gopal isn’t the only one.
More than 500 buyers out of 10 home societies from Noida and Greater Noida who’ve implemented for refund contrary to their delayed land with NCDRC haven’t had their cases listed for hearing loss over a single year.
Advocates representing those buyers in NCDRC assert matters have slowed down due to the pandemic as well as the digital hearings have been”too slow” to adapt pending cases.
At March 31, 2021, 21,443 were also pending with NCDRC, according to the commission portal site.
Randheer Kumar Sinha, the attorney representing Salon Heights buyers in NCDRC, stated,”I have customers from 10 jobs in Noida and Greater Noida who’ve transferred NCDRC and haven’t had their cases recorded in a year.
Aside from the pandemic slowing the issue, the commision has a lack of staff which has contributed to these flaws.
” “These cases are registered under the older Consumer Act which allowed programs of claim worth of around Rs 1 crore.
The new action which has become force in 2020 allows only instances worth Rs 10 crore to be confessed into NCDRC,” he further added.
Lawyer Mihir Kumar, that represents Realtors at NCDRC, Allahabad high court and the Supreme Court, told TOI,”Many buyers now have transferred NCDRC with all the expectation of a refund.
However, by means of the legal proceeding postponed, they’re stuck and failing to make an exit from their investments.
We expect the court shortly picks these instances on priority” “The buyers may move the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT),” said Abhishek Kumar, president of Noida Extension Flat Owners Welfare Association (Nefowa).
