Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the decisions of the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission affirming the State Commission's orders for refund and compensation due to the Developer's failure to deliver possession of apartments within the promised timeframe. The Court emphasized the Developer's deficiency in service under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, and confirmed that the absence of a Judicial Member on the National Commission's Bench did not invalidate the proceedings. The appeals by the Developer were dismissed, reinforcing consumer rights in real estate transactions.
