The dispute in these proceedings relates to alleged deficiency of service under the provisions of Consumer Protection Act, 1986 (‘The Act’ for short), arising out of delay by the petitioner in handing over the respondent’s flat within the agreed time frame as claimed by the respondent, a flat purchaser.
