According to a complaint, the complainant had purchased a property in Mumbai through a firm owned by Surendran Nair in a project being developed by Lodha in 2013.
The complainant was assured possession and it was not given on time, instead, as the years passed the accused started demanding more amount from the complainant after which they had reached out to the court.
