Realtor told to refund booking amount of dwelling unit
Chandigarh, July 30 The complainant, Umed Singh Rawat, alleged that he had booked a residential unit with the opposite party in their project Mohali Hills, Sector 109, Mohali, by paying an amount of Rs 5 lakh. He added that he was not provided information he sought about the project, such as requisite permissions, layout plans, availability of water and electricity connections etc. On visiting the site, it was found that there were no approach/connecting roads, no proper internal roads, no water and drainage system, no street lights and that the land at the site was full of ditches. The complaint asked for refund of the booking amount but to no avail. In its reply, the opposite party stated that the complainant did not make any payment after depositing the earnest money. “The complainant sought cancellation of the allotment for some financial constraints. It is also submitted that the complainant never sent the buyer’s agreement after duly signing it, despite reminders,” the opposite party stated. The forum ruled, “We are of the opinion that the plea taken by the opposite party had no merit. Since no buyer’s agreement has been executed between the parties, the opposite party is not legally justified to forfeit the entire booking amount of the complainant.”

Apathy: A tough game on a rough field
Deepankar Sharda Tribune News Service
Chandigarh, July 30 It is this rough field that the authorities narrowed down on for organising the inter-school kabaddi tournament for boys (U-14). Circle Kabaddi is known for its rough-and-tough nature, but the organisers have taken this to a whole new level. “The field should be sprinkled with water before every match. On this field, however, even the sprinkled water will lead to more trouble, as it has uneven patches and grass. These young players are so in love with this game that they ignore such things. No professional player or even a college-level player will agree to play in such conditions,” said an official on match duty. The coach of one of the teams said: “Every time, these players fall on the grass, they complain of itching. There is a high rish of developing rashes and scratches. None of the schools might come forward to submit a written complaint; however, it’s the duty of the organisers to keep in mind a player’s well-being.” Results on Day 1: Government Model Senior Secondary School, Dhanas, bt Government Model Senior Secondary School, Khuda Ali Sher, 23-20; Government Model High School, Mani Majra, bt SGGS School, Sec-35, 15-0; Government Model Senior Secondary School, Sarangpur, bt Government Model Senior Secondary School, Maloya, 26-9; Government High School, Dadu Majra, bt Government High School, Sarangpur, 22-13; Government High School, Sector 40, bt Government Model High School, Dhanas, 22-13.
