Upon detailed consideration of the pleadings and material placed on record, this

Authority, vide Order dated 30.07.2025, disposed of the complaint with specific and time-bound
directions, inter alia:
I.

The Respondent is directed to complete the development of the project and hand
over possession of the respective plots to the Complainant, strictly in accordance
with the sanctioned plan, within a period of forty (40) days from the date of this
Order.:

II.

For violation of Sections 3 and 4, the Respondent is liable for penalty under
Sections 59 and 60 respectively, therefore, the Respondent is directed to pay a
total penalty of Rs. 3,37,800/-(Rupees Three Lakh Thirty Seven Thousands Eight
Hundred Rupees Only) 10 payable within 30 days in favor of TG RERA FUND

REA01000085306 before this Authority in accordance with Section 4 of the

It is borne out from the record that the Respondent failed to remit the penalty amount

within the stipulated period of thirty (30) days. Consequently, this Authority issued Notice No.
CC 299/2024 dated 10.09.2025 to the Respondent, directing payment of the penalty amount
imposed under the said Order. However, the Respondent-Promoter failed to remit the said
amount within the stipulated time.
4.

Further, the Complainant filed an application dated 08.11.2025 placing on record that the

Respondent–Promoter has failed to comply with the directions contained in the Order dated
30.07.2025, inasmuch as the development works have not been completed and the other statutory
directions remain unimplemented.
5.

Upon perusal of the material available on record, this Authority finds that the penalty

amount imposed under the said Order remains unpaid. No documentary evidence has been filed
to demonstrate completion of the development works in accordance with the sanctioned plan.
Further, though an application for registration of the project under Section 4 of the RE(R&D)
Act was stated to have been initiated, the Respondent has not complied with the shortfalls
communicated by this Authority, and no proof of rectification has been placed on record.
6.

It is also pertinent to note that the Respondent has neither filed any application seeking

extension of time for compliance nor assigned any reasons whatsoever justifying the delay or
default. The continued silence and inaction on the part of the Respondent clearly establish
persistent non-compliance with the binding directions of this Authority.
7.

Accordingly, a Show Cause Notice No.CC No.299/2024 dated 22.11.2025, under

Section 63 of the RE(R&D) Act was issued to the Respondent calling upon him to explain as to
why action should not be initiated for non-compliance of the Order dated 30.07.2025. Despite
service of notice, the Respondent has neither appeared nor filed any reply. The conduct of the
Respondent indicates conscious and continued non-compliance. Silence in the face of statutory
notice, coupled with continued default, amounts to wilful disobedience. The matter is therefore
proceeded with based on the material available on record.

The Authority cannot permit its orders to be rendered ineffective. The enforcement

mechanism under Section 63 is intended to ensure regulatory discipline and protect the interests
of allottees. Section 63 of RE(R&D) Act, for ready reference:
If any promoter, who fails to comply with, or contravenes any of the orders or directions of the
Authority, he shall be liable to a penalty for every day during which such default continues,
which may cumulatively extend up to five per cent., of the estimated cost of the real estate
project as determined by the Authority.

9.

It is an admitted and undisputed position on record that the Respondent Promoter has not

complied with the directions contained in the Order dated 30.07.2025. The penalty imposed
therein remains unpaid, no material evidencing completion of development has been placed on
record; nor has compliance regarding project registration been demonstrated.
10.

The said Order has attained finality. There is no stay granted by any competent forum.

The Respondent has neither sought extension of time nor offered any explanation for the
continued default.
11.

Non-compliance of a binding order of this Authority strikes at the statutory discipline

contemplated under the RE(R&D) Act. Once default is established and remains unexplained, the
consequence under Section 63 of the RE(R&D) Act follows.
12.

In the present case, the default is continuing and is clearly wilful in nature. Accordingly,

this Authority holds that the Respondent has rendered itself liable for penalty under Section 63 of
the Act for failure to comply with the Order dated 30.07.2025.
13.

In view of the foregoing discussion and in exercise of powers conferred under Sections

34(g), 37, 38 and 63 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, this Authority
hereby orders as follows:
a) The Respondent–Promoter is held liable for non-compliance of the Order dated
30.07.2025 passed in Complaint No. 299 of 2024.
