of the said property should not submit for mutation of the same in the office
of Rajpur Sonarpur Municipality before completion of the said building by the
Developer/ Promoter. If the Owner will do so then owners will liable to
compensate the same, which clearly speaks that the Owners will partitioned
their allocation among them, and subsequently take their allocation from this
opposite party. This Opposite Party is not able to give the owners allocation
individually either any one of the owner among three owners. Thus due to such
reason alone, this opposite party is not able to deliver the owners allocation
to Sri Sudam Saha, even after completion of the building premises in all
respect. The owners are not jointly come to this opposite party to take their
allocation from this Opposite Party. The Owners are not taking any arrangement
for their partition of the allocation in terms of the Development Agreement
dated 21st day of June, 2017. This Opposite Party is all along ready
and willing to deliver the owners allocation subject to their joint approach
until partitioned among them. The application under objection is not
maintainable since the same has been made by the complainant individually, and
the other Two Owners did not approach this Hon’ble Commission. The other Two
Owners do not have any grievances against this Opposite Party, therefore the
grievances as ventilated by the complainant is not true and liable to be
dismissed inlimnie.
