The complainant, Ms Shashi Jain, had stated that she was allotted a residential plot in Sector 22, Gurgaon. The complainant had made full payment towards the cost of the plot. The complainant alleged that in spite of making full payment she did not get the physical possession of the plot. However, she received a memo on July from the Estate Office HUDA asking the consent of the complainant for the allotment of an alternate plot by draw of lots. The complainant rejected the offer and then she received another letter on September 4,1998, from the Estate Officer that the possession could not be delivered due to the plot not being available at the site after demarcation. The complainant then wrote a number of letters for giving her the possession of the plot but all in vain. She alleged that she had suffered financial loss on account of escalation in the cost of construction and mental and physical torture. Then only she had filed a complaint before the forum. The complainant had claimed interest at the rate of 24 per cent per annum on the amount deposited by her from the date of deposit till the date of delivery of an alternative plot. She claimed damages to the tune of Rs 2.5 lakh on account of escalation in the cost of construction and a sum of Rs 1 lakh as compensation on account of mental agony and harassment caused to her due to deficient and negligent services on the part of the respondents.
