In brief, the facts of the case are that respondent in response to an advertisement by the petitioner, who is a colonizer and builder, booked a plot in Nehru Nagar, Rajnandgaon on 15.09.1999 by depositing Rs 5,000/-. He thereafter paid Rs 24,000/- through 12 monthly installments of Rs 2,000/- and another lumpsum installment of Rs 20,000/- on 20.04.2002.
