ORDER
(Hybrid Mode)
14.05.2026 Heard Ld. Counsel for Appellant and Ld. Counsel
appearing for Respondent.
2. This Appeal has been filed against the order dated 17/03/2026 by
which I.A. 584/ 2025 filed by the Appellant seeking various directions to
refund the amount has been rejected.
3. Appellant is an allottee in one of the Projects of the Respondent
Corporate debtor and he has been given possession of the unit and deed of
sub-lease has also been registered in favour of the Appellant, in possession
of the unit.
4. Grievance of the Appellant is that Resolution Professional has issued
letter offering possession and demanded various amount which was not part
of the allotment letter. He has referred to an amount of Rs. 4,00,000/- with
respect to the common areas charges.
5. He submitted that no such amount could have been charged from the
Appellant. Ld. Counsel for the Respondent submitted that the Appellant was
given the offer of possession regarding all the amount which was required to
be paid including the said amount and Appellant has accepted the
possession and paid the amount and subsequently it was not open for the
Appellant to file an Application seeking refund.
6. Ld. Counsel for Respondent submits that further Respondent has
issued indemnity bond and Affidavit, which was prior to handing over the
possession and it is not open for the Appellant to raise any issue pertaining
to any refund of the amount.
7. We have considered submissions of the Parties and perused the
records.
8. Corporate Debtor was in CIRP and the RP, who was running the CD
as a going concern, has taken steps to complete the construction and offer
the possession. We are of the view that after taking possession of the units
and after giving the payment, it was not open for the Appellant to file
subsequent Application for refund. Issue, if any, ought to have been raised
at the relevant time, before taking the possession and before registration of
the unit.
9. We are of the view that Adjudicating Authority did not commit any
error in not entertaining the such prayers, on behalf of the Appellant.
2 of 3 Appeal dismissed.
