2. It would be apposite to mention here that hereinafter the parties will be referred, as have been arrayed before the District Commission.

3. Briefly, the facts of the case as made out in the present Revision Petition are that respondent No.2/complainant namely Kusha Gupta filed Consumer Complaint No.463 of 2021 before the District Commission against the petitioner/opposite party No.1-GMADA and respondent No.1/opposite party No.2, seeking following reliefs:

"a) Direct the OP No.1 to immediately carry out the external development works i.e. roads and road system, water supply, sewerage and drainage systems, electric supply etc. at the project.
11. Mr. Avilash Chattacharjee, learned counsel for respondent No.1/opposite party No.2 has opposed the submissions made by learned counsel for the petitioner on the grounds that there is willful breach and violation of the terms and conditions of the agreement dated 30.01.2013 on the part of petitioner-GMADA, as huge amount has been collected from the colonizer. Even a single penny has not been spent in the project. Petitioner-GMADA has illegally retained the amount paid towards EDC and has deprived the allottees of the interest, which is detrimental to the interest of the allottees as well. Learned counsel further submits that as per terms and conditions of the agreement, a number of duties and obligations were also cast upon the GMADA, but nothing has been done. The promoter has already completed all the internal development works of the project and has also provided internal roads, parks, streets and other activities but the petitioner-GMADA has failed to perform its duties and obligations. The external development activities in the project are the responsibility of GMADA but the same have not been completed in- spite of paying total EDC and no dues are pending towards EDC. At the end, learned counsel submits that as per policy, GMADA is supposed to chalk out an action plan by setting up a committee of senior officers belonging to different departments and authorities for completing the external development works in the colony.
c) Issue writ in the nature of MANDAMUS directing the Respondents to give the details of the amount collected towards EDC and towards the interest and penal interest on the instalments of External Development Charges and to refund such amount as there was no reason and/or occasion for the Respondents to levy the same, especially when External Development Works have not been carried out even after having collected the amount towards the External Development Charges;
d) Issue writ in the nature of MANDAMUS directing the Respondents to give the details of the amount collected towards External Development Charges and actually spent in proving External Development Works for the benefits of the residents of the colony being developed/promoted by the Petitioner and refund the amount that would have accrued as an interest on the amount of External Development Charges, paid by the Petitioner and its Associates and lying deposited with the Respondents, though never utilized for External Development Charges;
