Builders asked to pay Rs 29 lakhs
The Maharashtra State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission recently ordered two builders to pay a total of Rs 29 lakh to the LIC Housing Finance Ltd.
The decision came after the builders had failed to hand over flats to three city residents who had booked them in 2003.
The three buyers field three separate complaints in the Thane forum. In 2009, the forum while directing the builders to pay a compensation of Rs 35,000 each, ordered them to refund around Rs 3.15 lakh paid by each one of them, too.
The builders had filed an appeal seeking to pay the money directly to the bank so that the flats would be returned in their custody.
