In the Matter of Yogesh Sharma & Anr., vs M/S Unitech Limited Complaint no.Consumer Case No. 267 OF 2014 decided on 26.11.2015 before National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission
The NCDRC in the case observed that the builder ought not to have accepted money and entered into agreement with the buyers without approval of the building plans by GNIDA (Greater Noida Development Authority). If the opposite party chose to accept money from the flat buyers and enter into agreements, undertaking to give possession within a particular time frame, without having possession of the land and without approval of the building plans, it is only itself to blame for a situation in which the construction got delayed on account of the delay in approval of building plans and physical delivery of the land to it on the spot.
