1.      Briefly stated, the facts of case as alleged by the complainant are that  he purchased two booth sites measuring 20 sq. yards in September, 2014 from Sh.Jang Singh s/o Bachan Singh and Puneet Puri s/o Sh.Mangat Rai Puri.  He paid Rs.80,000/- as transfer fee to OP.  The LOIs were issued in December 2014 and January, 2015 in his favour.  The complainant personally visited several times to the OP but no positive response received till date.  It has further been averred that almost seven years have elapsed but there is no allotment or construction by the GMADA and he suffered a lot financially and faced mental hardships.  The complainant has filed the instant complaint with a prayer that the OP be directed to pay interest @ 18% p.a. on the deposited amount, compensation etc.
2.      Despite due service through registered post, the Opposite Party failed to put in appearance and as a result thereof it was ordered to be proceeded against exparte vide order dated 17.01.2022.
