Developer failed to prove ownership, says complainant

TGRERA fines developer Rs 10.6 lakh for violations at Nizampet apartment project

Swagathika had purchased a flat under the pre-launch offer of the ‘Hilton Project’, promoted by Jayathri Infrastructures. She alleged that despite repeated requests, the developer failed to provide details of land ownership, registration, and sale deed execution. On June 5, 2022, she received a notice from the firm threatening cancellation if the balance payment was not made by June 8, 2022.

Without intimation, Jayathri Infrastructures allegedly delegated construction and sales to another firm, Raja Developers and Builders, which later displayed signage at Block No. 5 of the project.

Ownership dispute surfaced later

Swagathika later discovered a public notice issued by Janapriya Townships Pvt Ltd at Delta Club, which clarified that Blocks 2B, 5 and 6 in Nile Valley were not sold to any third party and would be developed by them independently. The notice also warned buyers against dealing with Jayathri Infrastructures, terming such sales illegal.

Refund cheques bounced

The total amount paid by  the complainant was ₹16,22,850 and sought a refund after learning that the project was unauthorised. Jayathri Infrastructures initially issued two refund cheques ₹10 lakh (dated October 12, 2022) and ₹8,01,350 (dated October 14, 2022)   but both were dishonoured due to insufficient funds.

Subsequently, the company paid ₹5 lakh through Jaya Agro and executed a cancellation agreement on May 3, 2023, promising to pay the remaining ₹11.22 lakh by June 15, 2023, with 12% interest on delay. However, no further payments were made.
