R V PRASANNAKUMAAR vs MANTRI CASTLES PVT. LTD

The Supreme Court upheld the NCDRC's order under Section 12(1)(c) of the Consumer Protection Act, 1986, which found the developer in breach of contract for failing to deliver possession of flats by the agreed date of 31 January 2014. The Court affirmed the compensation awarded for delayed possession, including interest at 6% per annum from 01 February 2014 to 31 July 2016, but noted the need for just compensation beyond the stipulated amount in the agreement. The Court directed the developer to complete common facilities within six months and to pay litigation costs, while also addressing the appeals from both flat purchasers and the developer regarding the compensation timeline.
