Will NCDRC Class Action Suit change broader housing realities in India?

Class Action Suit is a common case where the petitioners come together to file a joint case and are referred as “Class”. The condition here is that all the petitioners seek common relief. In legal terms, the case is advertised for the “class” to join, if they are aggrieved. In the case against Tirupati Balaji Builder, the NCDRC has granted refund with interest to all 232 home buyers as the project was not delivered. In India, Class Action Suit came into public discussion after a group of petitioners used this legal route against cheating with gold, and the court ordered compulsory Hallmark stamp.
