Tribunal orders developer to buy back flat after two decades due to lack of completion certificate
Representative Image KOLKATA: In a landmark judgment, the West Bengal Real Estate Appellate Tribunal (WBREAT) directed a developer to buy back a flat he sold two decades ago. The buyer lived in the flat for 19 years but was unable to do the mutation because the developer failed to get the completion certificate from the civic body. The promoter was asked to not only return the amount paid for the flat but also the stamp duty and registration fee paid by the buyer. The buyer, Sibsankar Koley, resided in the flat on Nagendra Nath Road in Nagerbazar since 2006 and registered the property. However, he was unable to complete the mutation as the developer failed to obtain the Completion Certificate for the G+4 storied building. Additionally, the property was entangled in a legal dispute between the landowner and the developer. The Tribunal set aside an order by the West Bengal Real Estate Regulatory Authority (WBRERA) that dismissed Koley's complaint against the promoter. WBRERA also rejected a plea for directing the developer and the landlady to execute and register a Deed of Conveyance. WBREAT, while allowing the appeal, ordered the promoter to refund the entire amount Koley paid for the flat, including stamp duty and registration fees. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like SRM Online MBA | India's top ranked institute SRM Online Learn More Undo Koley was asked to vacate the flat and return it to the promoter within 45 days.

Key takeaways Landowner Renu Bala Paul entered into a development agreement with promoter Satchidananda Mitra of Sona Enterprise in March 2004 for the construction of a G+4 building at Nagendra Nath Road. Sibsankar Koley booked a 940 sq ft flat from the promoter's share in January 2005 and took possession in July 2006, despite the promoter's failure to obtain the Completion Certificate. A dispute arose in 2013 when the landlady filed a title suit at the Barasat Civil Judge Court , which remains unresolved. Koley approached the West Bengal State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission against the promoter and the landlady in 2011. The landlady contested the maintainability of the case and secured favourable rulings from Calcutta High Court and Supreme Court. In February 2017, the District Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum in Barasat directed the promoter to execute and register a Deed of Conveyance in Koley's favour. Koley discovered the promoter did not own the flat he "transferred" to him, prompting him to move WBRERA and then WBREAT. The latter asked Mitra to buy back the flat and told Koley to hand over possession in 15 days. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

India's power giants battle low demand as monsoon arrives early
Indian power giants- Tata Power, Adani Power and JSW Energy- are coping with the country's declining power demand in Q1 FY26. Power consumption between April-June period reduced by 1.3-1.6% in India due to the early onset of monsoon. 'After many years, we had a quarter in which the power consumption declined by nearly 1.3%,' Praveen Sinha, CEO Tata Power said. 'We have not seen (this) for at least the last 5-6 years and this was because of the early onset of monsoon where we saw the monsoon coming around mid-May and this has continued till now,' he added. Power consumption grew 11% in the first quarter of FY25, followed by a sluggish demand in the corresponding quarter of the current fiscal year, as stated by JSW Energy . Last year, an intense heatwave in the first quarter drove up power demand across many parts of India, unlike this year when early monsoon rains have kept temperatures lower. 'In Q1 FY26, the country's power demand registered a year-on-year decline of 1.5%. This moderation was primarily due to a high base effect, stemming from an 11% year-on-year growth in the corresponding quarter of the previous year, coupled with the early onset of the monsoon, which impacted consumption patterns,' Sharad Mahendra, CEO JSW Energy , said. As monsoon withdraws from most parts of western and central India, companies expect higher power demand in the later part of August and September. 'We anticipate this seasonal demand fluctuation to normalize in the coming quarters and remain structurally optimistic about strong medium-term power demand. Notably, the peak demand during the quarter reached 243 GW in June 2025,' Mahendra said. Adani Power reported a reduction in Power Purchase Agreements receipts due to weaker power demand in Q1 FY26. However, its sales volume was supported by an additional 2,300 MW capacity acquired last year and higher short-term sales under bilateral and exchange models. 'The recent slackness in power demand affected the offtake of power under 'Power Purchase Agreements by distribution companies. It also affected tariffs in the merchant market,' Dilip Jha, CFO Adani Power, said. The company's receipts for Q1 this year was Rs 6.51 per kWh as against Rs 7.60. per kWh in FY25. To ensure stable earnings, JSW Energy linked the unused capacity of imported coal-based Vijayanagar plant with JSW Steel. This move helped reduce dependence on the risky merchant market for coal-based power generation. JSW reported that the merchant market remained resilient during Q1 FY26 averaging around ₹ 4.41 /unit on exchanges despite record capacity addition and lower coal prices. The 'Day Ahead Market' rates were flat quarter on quarter but they softened year on year.
