Gurugram police has registered a cheating and criminal conspiracy case against Orris Infrastructure Private Limited and its directors over allegations of fraud in an agreement involving agricultural land in Badha village near Manesar.

Background of the Case

The complainants, legal heirs of the late Anand Prakash, alleged that the builder dishonestly transferred some of the plots allotted to them to third parties despite earlier allotment letters issued in their favour. The three families owned around three acres of agricultural land in Badha village and entered into a registered collaboration agreement with Orris Infrastructure in April 2010.

Key Terms of the Agreement

Under the agreement, the developer was to allot 1,200 square yards of developed residential plots to each landowner in lieu of the land contributed for development. A subsequent memorandum executed in 2012 modified the liability for payment of external and internal development charges, making the builder responsible for those payments.

Allegations of Cheating and Delay

Despite contractual obligations to hand over possession within five years, the complainants alleged that conveyance deeds were never executed. The builder attributed the delay to the absence of a completion certificate from the Department of Town and Country Planning (DTCP). The company also paid compensation in 2020 toward a six-year delay in handing over the plots.

Investigation and Next Steps

The dispute escalated after the complainants visited the project site in February this year and allegedly discovered that three plots had been transferred to third parties, with construction underway on one of them. The police have initiated an investigation into the matter and are verifying the facts. Action will be taken as per the law, said a senior police officer.

For Indian homebuyers and investors, this case highlights the importance of thorough research and due diligence before entering into any agreement with a real estate developer. It also underscores the need for stronger regulations and enforcement to prevent such instances of cheating and fraud in the real estate sector. via etrealty
