Delhi State CDRC held that Omaxe’s allotment change and delayed possession amounted to deficient service, ordering refund of ₹5,52,838 with interest and ₹4 lakh compensation for mental agony, reinforcing buyers’ rights against builder delays.

West Bengal State Consumer Commission holds legal heirs of a deceased developer and the landowner jointly liable for a Rs. 17 lakh refund with 9% interest and Rs. 20,000 legal costs for non-delivery of a shop. The ruling clarifies that vicarious liability extends to successors and co-owners under the Consumer Protection Act, setting a precedent for similar housing disputes.
