SWARNPREET KAUR v. DLF HOME DEVELOPERS LTD.

J U D G M E N T

2.

A Status Report dated 03.08.2026 has been submitted on behalf of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) by Mr. Saurabh Gupta, IPS, Superintendent of Police, CBI, who was entrusted with conducting an exercise in terms of the order of this Court dated 21.07.2026.

3.

The report called for was essentially a fact-finding exercise. As per the report, the focus of the exercise was to ascertain whether a 24-metre-wide road, which cuts across the DLF Primus Gurugram project, was in fact being maintained as a road or whether its nature had been altered in any manner. From the material placed before us including the maps and photographs, there is no dispute that the 24-metre-wide road, which was to cut across the entire project, does not exist as such within the project, and portions thereof are being used either for parking or have been developed as a green track.

4.

We pause here to indicate that from the very beginning, this Court has been emphasizing that the project, as sold to the consumers, was required to be delivered/constructed strictly in accordance with the representations made in the brochure/plan provided by DLF to the prospective buyers/consumers. A comparison of the same with the report and photographs contained in the Status Report dated 03.08.2026 leaves no manner of doubt that the 24-metre-wide road in the middle of the project is not in conformity with the original plan/brochure. The deviation is not minor but substantial, inasmuch as, out of the 147-metre stretch earmarked for the 24-metre-wide road, a stretch of about 52 metres has been developed as a green patch, while another substantial area, almost of an equivalent extent, as appears from the photographs, though retaining the appearance of a plain road structure, is being used for parking by the residents and visitors. Thus, out of the said 147-metre stretch, approximately 100 metres is either a green patch or is being used for parking, constituting almost two-thirds of the entire stretch.

5.

We are at a loss to understand why, despite repeated opportunities having been granted to ensure that the project is brought into conformity with what was represented in the brochure, the aforesaid deviation has not yet been rectified.
