BENGALURU: The Nadaprabhu Kempegowda Layout (NKPL) project has once again come under scrutiny from Karnataka Rera, as several allottees have lodged complaints against the BDA regarding delays in unit handovers. Unfortunately, these complaints were dismissed due to inadequate documentation.
The situation arose when allottees requested refunds along with interest. Upon reviewing the claims, the authority noted that crucial documents—such as sale agreements, construction agreements, payment receipts, and account statements—were missing from the submissions.
The authority emphasized the need for a thorough examination of contractual terms, payment records, commitments timelines, and any breaches. Without these documents, it cannot ascertain the exact obligations, extent of payments, delays, or any potential for relief.
Despite being given opportunities to rectify the issues, the allottees did not provide the necessary details. Consequently, the authority stated they could not calculate delay periods or statutory interest for individual claims. The bench remarked, “The mere production of a sale deed, without accompanying financial and contractual evidence, is insufficient for resolving the claims.”
In the event of disputes regarding the principal amount or interest calculations, parties are advised to reconcile based on documentary evidence. Should disputes persist, complainants are free to pursue appropriate legal proceedings.
The authority’s bench, led by president Rakesh Singh and member Gurijala Ravindranadha Reddy, disposed of the case on April 8, allowing allottees to file new complaints with the required documentation.
