Lucknow Development Authority vs M.K. Gupta on 5 November, 1993
20. Now coming to the objection taken by the opposite parties to
the effect that since the complainants never approached them for
appointment of an Adjudicating Officer for redressal of their grievance and
as such, this complaint deserves to be dismissed on this ground alone, it
may be stated here that this objection also deserves to be rejected out-
rightly on the ground that the complainants are well within their right, to
file this consumer complaint in view of settled principle of law laid down by
Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in as Lucknow Development Authority v. M
K Gupta (1994) 1 SCC 243, when there is delay in delivery of the
units/plots, the consumer complaint is maintainable. As such, objection
taken by the opposite parties, in this regard stands rejected.

Emaar Mgf Land Pvt. Ltd. vs Krishan Chander Chandna on 29 September, 2014
15. It may be stated here, it is settled law that onus to prove the
stage and status of construction and development work at the project site
and that all the permissions/approvals have been obtained in respect
thereof, is on the builder/developer. It was so said by the Hon'ble National
Commission, in Emaar MGF Land Limited and another Vs. Krishan
Chander Chandna, First Appeal No.873 of 2013 decided on
29.09.2014. In the present case, not an iota of evidence has been placed on
record, as to at what stage, the development and construction stage has
reached. In case, the development/construction had completed, as claimed
by the opposite parties, in their reply, then it was for the Opposite Parties,
9
which could be said to be in possession of the best evidence, to produce
cogent and convincing documentary evidence, in the shape of the reports
and affidavits of the Engineers/Architects, as they could be said to be the
best persons, to testify, as to whether, all these development/construction
activities, are being undertaken but they failed to do so. As already
established on record, that some of the permissions were received by the
opposite parties post the alleged possession letter, which has been proved
to be fabricated documents. Under these circumstances, the Opposite
Parties have attracted an adverse inference in the matter to hold that the
Opposite Parties are not serious in completing the project and on the other
hand are utilizing the amount paid by the complainants and other similar
located allottees, without providing them anything. Thus, in our considered
view, the complainants are entitled to get possession of their unit, alongwith
delayed compensation for the period of delay in delivery of possession.
Haryana Urban Development Authority vs Mrs. Raj Mehta on 24 September, 2004
In our view, even if at some point of time, the
complainants withheld some amount of sale consideration after seeing that
the Opposite Parties are not in a position to deliver possession of the said
unit and there will be an inordinate delay, then also they were legally right
to do so, in view of principle of law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court
of India in Haryana Urban Development Authority Vs. Mrs. Raj Mehta,
Appeal (Civil) 5882 of 2002, decided on 24.09.2004, wherein it was held
that if the builder is at fault in not delivering possession of the units/plots
by the stipulated date, it cannot expect the allottee(s) to go on paying
installments to it. Similar view had also been taken by the Hon'ble National
Commission, in Prasad Homes Private Limited Vs. E. Mahender Reddy
and Ors., 1 (2009) CPJ 136 (NC), wherein it was held that when
development work was not carried out at the site, the payment of further
installments was rightly stopped by the purchaser. Objection taken in this
regard by the opposite party also stands rejected.
