15. Moreover, a person cannot be made to wait indefinitely for the possession of the flats allotted to them and they are entitled to seek the refund of the amount paid by them, along with compensation. Although we are aware of the fact that when there was no delivery period stipulated in the agreement, a reasonable time has to be taken into consideration. In the facts and circumstances of this case, a time period of 3 years would have been reasonable for completion of the contract i.e., the possession was required to be given by last quarter of 2014. Further there is no no dispute as to the fact that until now there is qa d'' redevelopment of the property. Hence, in view of the above discussion, which draw us to an irresistible conclusion that there is deficiency of service on the part of the appellants and accordingly the issue is answered. When once this Court comes to the conclusion that, there is deficiency of services, then the question is what compensation the respondents/complainants is entitled to

a of the possession. The requirement to pay interest is not penalty as the payment of interest is compensatory in nature in the light of the delay suffered by the allottee received who has paid for his apartment but has not possession of it. The obligation imposed on the promoter to pay interest till such time as the apartment is handed A over to him is not unreasonable. The interest is merelv compensation for use of money. qrfrqdf €ffirfd efl-d-r fr qd sE B fr soqo ln & erd: sq$tr ffq S * erg++t bRroma*-ofqur snr *Se fr si rdi o1Rtfr fr*6gr s *-dr S fs frtq 'rt qq qM gftr sm u+trRr or swil,T ergt;o trcw +fr qt $+trRr tq d.n, eqlfu ffi
