Consumer Commission Orders Attachment of Sushma Chandigarh Grande Project Over ₹90 Lakh Refund Dispute
Zirakpur, Punjab | September 4, 2026: A consumer dispute involving Sushma Chandigarh Grande in Zirakpur has escalated after the State Consumer Commission ordered attachment of the entire project over non-compliance with an earlier order involving a homebuyer.
The action follows a complaint by a Gujarat-based couple who had booked an 1,885 sq ft apartment in the project and paid around ₹90 lakh to Sushma Buildtech Ltd. The case highlights the financial and legal risks homebuyers can face when possession commitments and consumer-forum orders remain unresolved.
Homebuyers Paid ₹90 Lakh for 1,885 Sq Ft Flat
The complainants, Sumit and his wife Munisha from Jamnagar, Gujarat, had booked a flat in Sushma Chandigarh Grande.
According to the case details, possession was not offered within the agreed timeline and was subsequently offered after a substantial delay. The couple then approached the consumer commission seeking relief against the developer.
Consumer Commission Ordered Possession and Interest
On September 20, 2024, the State Consumer Commission directed Sushma Buildtech and its concerned officials to provide possession of the flat within 45 days.
The commission also directed payment of 9% annual interest on the ₹90 lakh deposited by the buyers, calculated from July 1, 2020, to September 20, 2024.
The developer's failure to comply led the complainant to file an execution petition before the commission.
Entire Project Now Faces Attachment
Following the execution proceedings, the commission has ordered the attachment of the entire Sushma Chandigarh Grande project.
The Mohali Deputy Commissioner-cum-Collector has been directed to take steps for attachment and recovery of the amount. The DC has also been appointed as receiver for carrying out the recovery process.
The administration has been asked to submit an action-taken report before the next hearing, which is scheduled for September 14.
Why the Order Matters for Other Project Buyers
Attachment of an entire residential project is a significant development because it can create uncertainty for other buyers, investors and stakeholders associated with the property.
For existing or prospective buyers, the case underlines the importance of checking whether a project or developer is involved in pending consumer cases, execution proceedings or other legal disputes before making further payments or entering into a transaction.
Delayed Possession Remains a Major Homebuyer Risk
The dispute also highlights the financial impact of delayed possession. Buyers can face prolonged capital blockage, rental expenses and uncertainty when a promised home is not delivered on time.
Consumer-forum orders can provide a legal route for relief, but enforcement becomes equally important when a developer does not comply with the original direction.
What Happens Next
The next significant step will be the action taken by the Mohali administration on the attachment and recovery directions and the report submitted before the consumer commission.
The matter is scheduled for hearing on September 14, when the commission is expected to review the progress.
For buyers connected with the project, the proceedings make it particularly important to track the commission's orders and understand how the attachment process could affect possession, ownership interests and ongoing project operations.
