I had bought a commercial office space unit from a private builder in gurgaon. I purchased this with constructin linked plan. The posession has finally been handed over to me after almost 5 years from the sate of sale agreement. The sale agreement does not list any penalty amount on delay of posession. Hoever it mentions, 5 rs per sq feet per month penalty on me, if I fail to take poession after offering of posession..
I have taken physical posession 3 months back and now registry is pending.
1) My questoon is if I can claim penalty amount for delay in posession ? If yes , in consumer court ?
2) If I file a case, will I risk delay in registry ? Should I file the case after registry?
3) Property cost is about 70lacs. Where should I file the consumer forum case in Delhi or Gurgaon for fast and favorable outcome ? I live in gurgaon but have a residence in delhi as well. Builder registered office is in delhi and has corporate ofice in gurgaon
4) What is a reasonable amount of penalty to be claimed ? what all should it contain?
5) preferable to hire a lawyer ?
thanks,
