account of only part payment being made to them. Be that as it may, the process of settlement talks were indeed going on between the Applicant and all 19 complainants which is apparent from specific findings recorded by the Tribunal in paragraph 2 of the order dated 8 January 2024. Whether 8 or 4, there appears to be some success in the settlement talks, where some of the complainants have apparently settled their disputes with the Applicant. According to Mr. Jagtiani 3 complainants have already executed supplementary agreements with the Applicant agreeing upon fresh terms for purchase of their respective flats. According to Mr. Jagtiani, the said 3 complainants have already been delivered possession of their respective flats. He would further submit that 3 complainants have already executed cancellation deeds by accepting the entire payment due to them under the cancellation deed. He would further submit that 2 more complainants are in the process of executing cancellation deeds with the Applicant. The above events undoubtedly demonstrate that the parties were negotiating settlement with the Developer. It appears that after the process of negotiations 11 complainants are not willing to enter into any settlement with the Developer. Therefore the cause for delay in filing the Appeals, as pleaded, cannot be rejected.
