In CCI Projects (P) Ltd.vs Vrajendra Jogjivandas Thakkar, Hemali Vrajendra Thakkar had booked a residential flat with CCI Projects (P) Ltd. Later allotment was transferred her in favour of her mother-in-law Kumudben Thakkar who in turn gifted the same to Vrajendra Jogjivandas Thakkar. The complaint was filed by Vrajendra and the consumer court granted him reliefs including compensation for delay. The appellant, in this case, relying on Haryana Urban Development Authority v. Raje Ram, contended that the complaint was not maintainable as the original allottees had transferred their interest.
The Supreme Court decided that the said Haryana Urban Dev judgment was not applicable here. Said decision of this Court related to cases where the original allottees had transferred the allotment in favour of total strangers with the permission of the authority and as found by this Court, the subsequent allottees were aware that there was delay in delivering the allotted plots on account of time taken in forming the layout or on account of encroachment and yet had purchased the interest of the original allottees. In the present case the transfers were effected within the family where the members had been living together. The decision of this Court in Haryana Urban Development Authority (supra) cannot be stretched to say that in every case where there is a transfer, the complaint by the subsequent transferee would not be maintainable at all.
