What the tribunal decided

The Tamil Nadu Real Estate Appellate Tribunal, comprising Chairperson Justice M. Duraiswamy and Judicial Member R. Padmanabhan, disposed of Appeal No.39/2023 on 16 October 2023.

K.V. Capital, represented by its partner Ashok M. Jain, asked to withdraw the appeal because it intended to approach the appropriate court for relief. Its counsel, Bharat B. Jain, also made an endorsement recording the request.

The tribunal therefore:

  • Dismissed Appeal No.39/2023 as withdrawn.
  • Left K.V. Capital free to approach the appropriate court.
  • Did not direct M/s. Fifth Field Realtors Private Limited to refund any amount or pay interest.

What the appeal concerned

Appeal No.39/2023 was filed under Section 44 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016. It challenged an order dated 17 May 2023 in RCP No.80 of 2022, passed by the Single Member who decided that complaint.

K.V. Capital had originally asked the appellate tribunal to:

  • Set aside the order dated 17 May 2023.
  • Allow the relief requested in the complaint.
  • Direct M/s. Fifth Field Realtors Private Limited to refund the entire consideration amount paid, together with interest.

Because K.V. Capital withdrew the appeal, the tribunal did not decide whether those requests should be granted. The source does not record any appearance for M/s. Fifth Field Realtors Private Limited at the hearing.

Who is affected

Appeal No.39/2023 directly concerns K.V. Capital and M/s. Fifth Field Realtors Private Limited. For a buyer, owner or professional checking the dispute, the key point is that the appellate proceeding ended through withdrawal rather than through a ruling on the refund claim.

The Tamil Nadu Real Estate Appellate Tribunal expressly preserved K.V. Capital's ability to seek appropriate relief before the appropriate court. The order does not identify that court or state what relief any court would grant.
