THIS PETITION, COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING, THIS DAY, ORDER WAS MADE THEREIN AS UNDER: CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH and HON'BLE MS. JUSTICE TARA VITASTA GANJU ORAL ORDER (PER: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE D K SINGH) The present writ petition has been filed by the petitioner/ M/s. Propcare Developers Private Limited Formerly known as M/s. Mantri Developers Private Limited and Another (for brevity 'the Developers') impugning the order dated 22.01.2025 passed - 3 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:45152-DB WP No. 28854 of 2025 by the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (for brevity 'the NCDRC') in Execution Application No.905/2023 in Consumer Complaint No. 3854/2017. 2. The respondents, who had booked a Flat being developed by the petitioner, filed the consumer complaint before the NCDRC praying for refund of the amount deposited by them along with interest at the rate of 18% p.a. The construction agreement for the "Mantri Webcity" Flats, which was entered into between the Developer and the Flat buyers was dated 11.09.2013 and date of possession was mentioned as 31.01.2015. 3. Despite a long delay after the date of possession as mentioned in the construction agreement and when the Flat buyers found that there was no scope for them to get possession of their respective Flat, the Flat buyers filed consumer complaint before the NCDRC. After pleadings got completed and affidavits were filed before the National Commission by the Developer that the completion certificate was obtained on 29.05.2017 and possession would be delivered to the flat buyers. Based thereon, - 4 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:45152-DB WP No. 28854 of 2025 the National Commission passed an order for payment of compensation for delayed possession for the period from 02.02.2015 to 02.06.2017 at the rate of 6% p.a. It appears that the flat buyers have been given possession, but without any water connection. Therefore, the complainants have filed the execution petition and till today, the developer has not been able to provide water connection to the complainant's flat. 4. Subsequently, NCDRC has passed the order dated 22.01.2025, which would suggest that the Developer has clearly undertaken that water connection would be provided within 4 months from 21.11.2022. Despite this undertaking before the NCDRC, till today the water connections have not been provided. The NCDRC observed on 09.04.2025 that there is non-compliance of the judgment and further gave an opportunity to the judgment debtors to provide regular water connection within 3 weeks from 09.04.2025, failing which, action against the key managerial persons of the developers shall be taken under Section 72 of the Consumer Protection Act, 2019. - 5 - HC-KAR NC: 2025:KHC:45152-DB WP No. 28854 of 2025 5. As the Developer failed to provide the water connection as directed by the NCDRC way back on 21.11.2022 and despite the order dated 09.04.2025, another order dated 28.07.2025 came to be passed directing the personal presence of Mr. Sushil Mantri/Judgment Debtor No. 2. 6. This order of personal presence as directed by the National Commission is under challenge. 7. In these circumstances, we do not find that NCDRC has committed any error of law or jurisdiction, which requires interference by this Court in exercise of jurisdiction and Article 227 of the Constitution. 8. We find no merit in this writ petition, accordingly, it is dismissed. Sd/- (D K SINGH) JUDGE Sd/- (TARA VITASTA GANJU) JUDGE NG List No.: 1 Sl No.: 7
