(3.) Brief facts of the case, as emerged from the pleadings of the parties and other case records are that in May 2012, OP No.3 approached the Complainants and notified that the OP No.2 was selling flats by way of pre-launch and also stated that complainants would get an discount of 4% at the rate of Rs.5850.00 per sq. ft instead of Rs.6191.00 per sq. ft. if the Complainants purchases the unit immediately. The said offer was refused by the Complainants. However, after much persuation and representation and promises made by OP No.3, Complainants decided to book a unit in the Project, 'Peaceful Homes', Sector 70-A, Gurgaon, Haryana of OP No.2, who subsequently transferred the project to OP No.1. OP No.3 in collusion with OP No.2 told the complainants that if the Complainants make the payment immediately, then only he would be eligible for obtaining the discount. Complainants issued a cheque of Rs.10,00,000.00 in favour of OP No.2 to book the flat and complainants received a confirmation letter for the same.
