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.
