The Delhi Commission for Women (DCW) has summoned the MD of a real estate company which allegedly failed to honour an agreement with former Indian women’s cricket team captain Anjum Chopra to refund the money she had paid for a flat in one of its projects.

Chopra told the DCW that she had booked a flat in a project of the company in Indirapuram, Ghaziabad in 2006 and had paid approximately 60% of the total investment till 2013.

The said property was not handed over to her and due to an inordinate delay on the part of the company, she signed a settlement deed with it in 2020 wherein it agreed to refund her money, added officials. 

According to her complaint, the money was to be refunded within two-and-a-half months from the date of execution of the settlement deed. However, she hasn’t received the money even after more than two years.

The DCW had issued a notice to the realty firm and was assured that the money will be refunded to Chopra within six months.

The DCW also warned that it would initiate legal proceedings against the company in case it found its response unsatisfactory.

The DCW has also asked the managing director of the company to appear before it on December 9 and submit an action taken report.
