Supreme Court Directs CBI to Investigate DLF Project in Gurgaon The Supreme Court has directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to probe alleged irregularities in DLF’s residential project “The Primus DLF Garden City” in Gurgaon, citing concerns over the plight of homebuyers who invested their life savings. A bench of Justices Ahsanuddin Amanullah and R Mahadevan emphasized that the issues raised by buyers may represent only a fraction of a larger problem, urging authorities to thoroughly examine the case. The court’s order follows a batch of appeals filed by homebuyers against DLF Home Developers Ltd., which challenged an earlier ruling by the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC). The dispute centers on a group housing project in Sector 82A, Gurgaon, where buyers booked apartments in 2012 under a marketing campaign that promised possession by February 28, 2016. However, the project remained incomplete by that date, with buyers alleging deficiencies in infrastructure, including the absence of permanent water and electricity connections. A Partial Occupation Certificate was issued in October 2016, but buyers claimed the promised 24-meter-wide access roads were not constructed. These grievances led them to approach the NCDRC in 2017, which partially upheld their complaint in 2023, citing service deficiencies and unfair trade practices. The Supreme Court expressed concern over the discrepancy between legal requirements and the actual conditions faced by buyers. The bench noted a “huge mismatch” between the representations made by DLF and the reality on the ground, suggesting that the developer’s promises were not fulfilled.#supreme_court #central_bureau_of_investigation #gurgaon #dlf_home_developers_ltd #national_consumer_disputes_redressal_commission
