Maharashtra “state consumer commission last week directed a builder to pay a compensation of Rs 13.50 lakh to a Jogeshwari couple for a five-year delay in handing over possession of a flat in Thane. The couple has paid more than 95% of the flat's price of Rs 30
lakh. The commission also directed the builder and developer Ganaraj Group to
hand over the flat within 45 days failing which Rs 1,000 per day would be
payable to the complainants, Prashan and Sailee Dhotre, till handing over of
actual possession of the flat.”
We, the people, pay tax and
submit all documents demanded by government. If failed, even for a day, Income
Tax department and many other government agencies will come right in front of
you. It was a tax case which delayed global acquisition of Nokia’s phone
division by Microsoft. Finally what happened? Chennai plant was moved out of
the merger and now Nokia is selling it in parts. Vodafone and IT department
argued on how to calculate numbers, which one to put on which sheet for a good
number of years.
In return do we get all those
things a public administrative body is supposed to provide? In how many cities autos
drivers are charging their customer by meter? In how many cities women can walk
through the street without fear after ten in the night? The lists of questions
are really long. Can’t we expect services like that?
By the way the article also
says that, “The Dhotres filed the complaint before the commission in 2010”.
I wonder what the commission was doing for last 4 years. Do these things are
supposed to take this much time?
