Consumer Case Against House Construction Contractor (Individual/Person)
1 year ago
Contractor stops and quit construction of my house after 60% of work done. In the contract agreement clause says he has to complete work within 4 Months. But even after 2 years the work not completed. But after 4 years myself completed the remaining work. But there are many defects in construction done by the contractor like house wall starts to cracking and the doors, Windows, tiles/marbles are installed not as per the agreement. Now he is asking for money for remaining balance amount. But how he can ask us money for the work he has not done ?. Also there is a clause in the agreement that whichever person (Contractor or the Customer) break the agreement rules will liable. But he only stops the work and the construction quality is not proper and the materials used are not per the agreement. So Can I file a case against him in the consumer court for compensation ?. The agreement was signed in 2015. Today is February 2023.
As you said that there is contract (It must be enforceable by law) between you two and in contract it was written that whoever will break the contract he will be liable then you can ask compensation from him and can file a suit.
Hope, it is helpful
