M/s Unitech Reliable Project Pvt. Ltd. & Ors. and CC No.307 of 2015 Pramod Yadav & Anr. Vs. Unitech Hi-Tech Developers Limited decided on 06.01.2017.  The learned counsel further states that in order to avoid any further litigation on the part of the OP, the complainant is restricting her claim to the refund of the entire amount paid by her alongwith compensation in the form of interest @ 10% per annum, in terms of clause 4.e of the Buyers Agreement which reads as under:

4.e    Default:

If for any reason the developer is not in a position to offer the apartment altogether, the developer shall offer the allottee(s) an alternative property or refund the amount in full with simple interest @ 10% per annum without any further liability to pay damages or any other compensation on this account.

4.      In view of the statement made by the learned counsel for the complainant on instructions from the complainant, and the decisions of this Commission in Neha Suri (supra), the complaint is disposed of with the following directions:-

(i)      The opposite party shall refund the entire amount of Rs.48,88,232/- received from the complainant alongwith compensation in the form of simple interest at the rate of 10% p.a. from the date of each payment till the date on which the aforesaid amount alongwith compensation in terms of this order is refunded.
