Mr. Justice N.D.V. Bhat, President—These two appeals arise out of one and the same order dated 27.6.1997 passed by II Additional District Forum, Bangalore Urban, in Complaint No. 3227/ 1993. By the said order, the District Forum directed the opposite party to grant an alternate site of the description referred to in the operative portion of the order, alongwith compensation of Rs. 5,000/- towards mental agony.

2. Being aggrieved by the said order, the opposite party-BDA has preferred Appeal No. 495/1997. The complainant, being aggrieved by the fact that the District Forum has not awarded any amount towards the expenses incurred by her as a direct consequence of the alleged negligence of the opposite party, has preferred Appeal No. 521/1997.

3. A few facts need to be stated for the disposal of these appeals :

The complainant was a purchaser of corner site bearing Number 2009 at 2nd Phase, Sarakki Layout, in a public auction held by B.D.A. for Rs. 2,61,200/-. It appears that the possession certificate was given on 21.6.1990. Since it was noticed that the said site had been allotted to someone else even before the auction, B.D.A. it appears, gave her another site at B.T.M. Layout. I
