“When (we) as Villa owners raised concerns about the delay, the respondents and their staff were unresponsive and displayed a lackadaisical attitude, failing to register the project under the RE(R&D) Act 2016 and violated the statutory requirements and deprived us,” according to the complainant. As a result, complainants sought TGRERA’s help to refund the amounts wrongfully collected, along with interest.
After TGRERA examined the complaint, the authority directed the respondents to transfer Rs 6.81 crore to the Society. The respondents also directed to apply for registration of the project ‘Goldfish Zresta’ with the authority within 30 days from the date of the order.
