Respected Sir,
This present complaint is being preferred by Mrs. Lalitha Walia & Mr.
Satish Chander Walia (hereinafter Complainants/victims) who are peace
loving and law-abiding senior citizens of India residing at 202B, LTH,
Laburnum, Sushant Lok-1, Galleria DLF-IV, Gurgaon, Haryana-122009.
ii. The accused no.2, accused no.3 along with one unknown person
approached the complainants in and around, 2019 for investing in
their project by deceiving and portraying rosy picture qua their up-
coming project to be one of its kind and best projects having world
class amenities that too near Delhi-NCR.
iii. The accused persons again represented that the project shall be
fully completed on or before 31.07.2019 in all respects and assured
that the complainants shall be allotted a unit and further assured
that they have obtained all requisite permissions from the
government department for constructing the same.
iv. The accused persons particularly assured the Complainants that all
the relevant and requisite permission were taken by the company
from various govt departments and RERA authority for the
development of said project, which would eventually help in getting
timely possession of the unit in the said project.
vi. That being deceived from the assurances and representations of the
accused persons, acting upon and relying in good faith on the false
representations and fraudulent assurances made by the
representatives and agents of the Accused Company, the Accused
Company issued an Allotment Letter dated 31.05.2019 in favour of
the Complainants, confirming the allotment of service apartment
bearing Unit No. ST/0911, 9th floor, Tower A, admeasuring 975 sq ft,
in the project Paras Square, Sector 63A, Gurugram. The total sale
consideration for the said unit was stated to be Rs. 1,02,00,000/-
(Rupees One Crore Two Lakhs). The Company at the time of
booking the Apartment also offered an option to the Complainant,
stating that once the apartment would be constructed completely, it
would be leased out and the Complainant would receive rent at the
rate of Rs. 80 per sq ft.
A COPY OF ALLOTMENT LETTER DATED 31.05.2019 IS
ANNEXED AND MARKED HEREWITH AS ANNEXURE A.
vii. Along with the allotment letter, the Accused enclosed a Down
Payment Plan, which describes that a sum of Rs. 5,00,000/- (Rupees
Five Lakhs) will be paid at the time of booking, Rs. 35,21,680/-
(Rupees Thirty Five Lakhs Twenty One Thousand Six Hundred
Eighty) after 3 days of allotment and Rs. 60,32,520/- (Rupees Sixty
Lakhs Thirty Two Thousand Five Hundred Twenty) on or before
31.07.2019.
A COPY OF PAYMENT PLAN IS ANNEXED AND MARKED
HEREWITH AS ANNEXURE B.
viii. The complainant being a Bona Fide purchaser and being trapped
into the rosy picture of the accused persons, was left with no option
but to make payment in the genuine belief that the Accused persons
would fulfill its commitment and immediately hand over possession
of the allotted commercial unit. Perusal to which the Complainants
had abided with the payment plan and had deposited the entire
consideration amounting to Rs. 1,02,00,000/- (Rupees One
Crore Two Lakhs).
A COPY OF THE PAYMENTS DETAIL ARE ANNEXED AND
MARKED HEREWITH AS ANNEXURE C (COLLY).
x. That as per clause 8.7.2 of the Agreement for sale, the Accused
Company was liable to pay interest to the Complainants at the rate
prescribed in the Real Estate Regulation and Development Act, 2016
for each month’s delay. The interest was payable by the Accused
Company till the date of offer of possession.
xii. In light of the threats made by the agents of the Accused company
the Complainants were left with no choice but to act accordingly
with the Accused Company. The accused company being in a
dominating position after receiving entire consideration compelled
the Complainants to entering into a fresh sale deed dated
09.06.2023 with all together new footings and implying transfer of
possession on paper, signifying that the Complainants were handed
possession in documentation but not in actuality.
A COPY OF SALE DEED DATED 09.06.2023 IS ANNEXED AND
MARKED HEREWITH AS ANNEXURE D.
xv. That Clause 8 of the Agreement for sale further exposes the
fraudulent intent of the Accused. It vaguely mentioned that
possession would be handed over in accordance with the timeline
stated in the RERA Certificate. However, upon a detailed inspection
of RERA Certificate No. 13 of 2018, the Complainants were
shocked to discover that the said certificate contained no
completion timeline whatsoever and was, in fact, valid only till
31.10.2018, well before the date of booking and receipt of
payments. This deliberate misrepresentation, omission and
misdirection served to mislead the Complainants into believing that
the project was valid, approved, and nearing possession. The
absence of any binding delivery schedule fundamentally destroyed
the basis upon which the Complainants had been induced to invest
their life savings. The consistent refusal to disclose material facts,
along with presentation of an invalid RERA certificate, amounts to
cheating under Section 420 IPC, criminal concealment, and
suppression of truth with intent to defraud.
A COPY OF THE INVALID RERA CERTIFICATE NO. 13 OF 2018
IS ANNEXED HEREWITH AS ANNEXURE E.
xvi. That despite the Complainants having paid the total amount of Rs.
1,02,00,000/- (Rupees One Crore Two Lakhs), the Accused
persons have, willfully failed to provide any clarity, possession
timeline, or commitment regarding the handover of the allotted
commercial unit. For over four years, the Complainants have been
subjected to calculated silence, evasive conduct, and total disregard
from the Accused, leaving them in a state of prolonged mental
harassment, financial distress, and legal uncertainty. This continued
inaction and non-communication, despite securing almost the entire
payment, is not a matter of mere negligence but constitutes a
deliberate and orchestrated act of cheating (Section 420 IPC) and
criminal breach of trust (Section 406 IPC). The actions of the
Accused reflect an intent to dishonestly misappropriate the
Complainants’ funds while never intending to fulfill their obligations,
thereby causing wrongful gain to themselves and wrongful loss to
the Complainants, who are senior citizens now left with no option
but to seek criminal prosecution.
xix. The actions of Company and Accused persons and the associated
individuals demonstrate a deliberate and fraudulent intent to
deceive the complainant. The misuse of funds, which were
specifically earmarked for payment of unit, constitutes criminal
breach of trust under Section 316 of the Bharatiya Nyaya
Sanhita, 2023. This section specifically criminalizes the
misappropriation of funds entrusted to a person for a specific
purpose.
xx. By diverting the funds for personal purposes and failing to fulfil the
agreed obligations, Company and Accused have not only committed
criminal breach of trust but have also engaged in cheating under
Section 318 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023. The
elements of fraudulent misrepresentation and deceptive
conduct/cheating are clearly present, as the complainant was
induced to part with substantial sums of money based on false
representations regarding the utilization of those funds.
Yours Faithfully,
