The learned counsel for the Petitioners further made a
statement before this court that the Respondent has
granted circulation of a matter which was filed subsequent
to the Petitioner’s complaint. In support of this contention,
he relies on Email dated 02.03.2021, Exhibit-F, page 170 to
the petition.
5
The learned counsel for the Petitioners submits that in
the interest of justice, this Hon’ble Court be pleased to
direct Respondent No.1 to hear the Petitioners’ Application
for interim relief as early as possible, as they are suffering
because of the negligence on the part of the
Builder/Developer.
6
We heard both sides at length. It is to be noted that, in
the present proceedings, the Petitioners filed their
complaint in the month of July 2020. Considering the
present COVID-19 situation and as Respondent No.1 is
functioning through video conference, we do not find any
reason to entertain such type of petition to direct
Respondent No.1 to decide the application made by the
Petitioner, immediately, but in any case, considering the
urgency in the matter, we permit the Advocate for the
Petitioner to make an appropriate Application before
Respondent No.1 explaining their urgency and if such
Application is made, Respondent No.1 to consider the same
on its own merits.

In view of the above mentioned discussion, the
following order is passed:
