3. The Sessions Court awarded damages based on multiple claims, including costs for repairs, topography, and other damages, as well as exemplary damages and interest (!) - (!) .

4. The defendant appealed, asserting that claims made after the expiry of the defect liability period were not valid, and that the damages awarded were unsupported by the pleadings and evidence (!) (!) .

6. The court found that certain claims for damages, including those for costs of rectification, flooding, and related expenses, were based on reports and evidence obtained well after the expiry of the defect liability period (!) (!) (!) - (!) .

7. The court determined that the plaintiffs' claims for damages related to defects outside the scope of the Defects List and beyond the defect liability period were improperly allowed, and thus, the appeals against these claims were successful (!) - (!) .

8. The court also scrutinized the claim for exemplary damages and found no sufficient reasons or legal basis for awarding such damages, leading to its dismissal (!) - (!) .

9. The court dismissed the defendant’s counterclaim due to the absence of relevant pleadings and evidence in the record (!) .
