JUDGEMENT

(1.) The complainants namely Kamalnayan Gupta and Bhavana P Gupta booked a residential villa with the OP in a project namely 'Unitech South Park, which the OP was to develop in Sector 70 of Gurgaon. Vide allotment letter dated 01.08.2011, house no. 0203 in Block-B4 in the aforesaid project was allotted to the complainants for a consideration of Rs.7884042/-. The parties then executed an agreement dated 17.08.2011, incorporating their respective obligations in respect of the said transaction. In terms of clause 4.a(i) of the said agreement, the possession was to be delivered within 36 months of the execution of the agreement. The possession therefore, ought to have been offered by 17.08.2014. The grievance of the complainants is that the construction is not complete and possession has not been delivered to them despite they having already paid Rs.7813986/- to the OP. The complainants are, therefore, before this Commission seeking refund of the aforesaid amount alongwith interest etc.
