The Supreme Court has warned real estate developers that promises made in project brochures cannot simply be treated as marketing claims. The court said developers are expected to ensure that the final project matches the representations made to homebuyers.
The observation came during proceedings related to DLF Home Developers’ The Primus residential project in Sector 82A, Gurugram. The case involves a 24-metre-wide road that was shown in the original project plan and brochure but was not maintained in the manner represented.
According to the court, around 52 metres of the planned 147-metre road stretch had been developed as a green patch, while another portion was being used for parking. The court described the deviation as substantial and questioned why it had not been corrected despite earlier opportunities.
The Supreme Court has also directed the CBI to continue its inquiry into the matter, with the next hearing scheduled for October 12.
For homebuyers, the case highlights why it is important to carefully preserve brochures, floor plans, payment documents and promised amenities before purchasing a property.
