Hi folks,
Yes, and any other flat cannot be imposed upon the consumers. They have got their free will to accept or reject the other flats offered to the complainants.

Thanks Bablu and Sekhar.....
But the company is against the complaint asking refund and other damages. Company's claiming is that the flat was booked in the name of Tarun and it was not for residing purpose but only to earn profit and he not claim to be a consumer himself.

But the commission rejected the firm's claim saying that it can not be made a rule of thumb that every NRI can not own a property in India. Court also said that NRIs do come to India, every now and then. Each NRI wants a house in India. Tarun is an independent person and can purchase any house in India, in his own name.

Very good decision Sekhar.
The NCDRC also rejected the firm's claim that the complainants were offered an alternative flat but they rejected it and hence the complaint should be dismissed.

It is well settled that nobody can force anybody to accept the flat of the choice of the Opposite Party.

The news was highlighted when the apex consumer commission has said while asking Supertech Ltd to pay around Rs 64 lakh to an NRI for denying possession of a flat in Greater Noida.

Good decision i think......National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission directed the firm to pay Rs 6399727 to south Delhi resident Reshma Bhagat and her son, Tarun Bhagat, who had booked a flat in the builder's project in 2008.
