Singh purchased an apartment in a luxury project in Gurugram, but has faced considerable delays in possession.

According to RERA, developers must adhere to strict guidelines regarding possession timelines. If delays occur, homebuyers are entitled to compensation, including interest on their investment, or a full refund. Singh's case exemplifies these provisions, as he seeks redress for both the delay and the unauthorized use of his likeness.

Legal experts have noted that Singh's actions could pave the way for other aggrieved buyers to assert their rights. The RERA framework allows buyers to file complaints and seek compensation, ensuring developers are held accountable for delays and other breaches of contract.
