DDA DIRECTED TO MAINTAIN PRINCIPAL OF EQUALITY
DDA DIRECTED TO MAINTAIN
PRINCIPAL OF EQUALITY
National Consumer Dispute
Redressal Commission found Delhi Development Authority going beyond the
Principal of equality while allotting the flats to the customers and charging
towards the cost in arbitrary manner.
When
it comes to the question of pricing and cost of the flat, land or any dewelling,
it is an established law that deciding the cost is the authority of housing
board and court do not interfere in the domain of the board. But in a case of
Rajender Prasad &others against DDA, this was not the situation. Allottees
were charged lesser amount under the same scheme with no changes in
landcost,construction cost and even taxation structure. Delhi Development
Authority after allotment of flats to group of customers including complainant
in present case, made two major changes-
The
share money shall not form part of costing and service charges shall not
be part of overall cost of land. .National commission in its order dated
19.5.2014 held it discrimination and arbitrariness against those who had been delivered
possession by charging more. Commission was of the opinion that this change in
formula for calculating total cost has to be made uniform ally applicable to
all the allotees in same area under the same scheme if certain allotments were
made before passing of resolution it is bounded duty of DDA to refund amount to
such allottees if charged extra.
