Chandigarh, May 29

The State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission here has directed the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to refund Rs 60,94,941 to a city resident with interest.

The commission also directed the DDA to pay a compensation of Rs 1.50 lakh to the complainant for mental agony and Rs33,000 for the cost of litigation.

A city resident had approached the commission after the DDA failed to deliver him the flat with all facilities as promised.

The complainant said the block in which he had been allotted the flat was not in inhabitable condition. The DDA denied all claims made by the complainant.

After hearings the arguments, the commission found the DDA guilty of deficiency of services and directed it to refund the deposited amount.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
