First of all you should go through the agreement once again in which the said allotment would find a mention.

If the proposed deceitful act by the builder is contrary to the agreement condition you have a case to file against him. The duct parking if has been proposed to be a permanent parking slot and the same finds a mention in the plan, then you may have to go by the terms of sale agreement. Actually the parking slots are not to be sold as per supreme court judgement. You may quote this in your complaint before the consumer forum against the builder.

Hello,

1) Your case would certainly come under consumer redressal forum as you gave been provided the service offered but with inadequacies. Deficiency in service is what you will file your consumer case under.

2) you can either send a legal notice to the builder or send a letter properly drafted demanding parking as promised and paid for by you and warning him off legal action if your problem is not resolved.

3) Of the builder fails to comply with your demands in the notice file a case in the district consumer redressal forum. If you make a visit to the consumer forum office you can obtain the format used in the particular district forum.

1. The parking space which is mentioned in the agreement or brochure, as the case may be, has to be allotted. Parking space cannot be allotted on a first come first serve basis. The builders make towering promises to entice people to book the flats but do not carry them out once the sale has been made.

2. Issue a lawyer's notice to the builder to demand the car parking which he is obligated to provide. If he does not meet the demand then you may file a lawsuit against him. It is a consumer law case.

1. If the builder has not acted as per the agreement or written assurance/promise, you can approach the Consumer Forum seeking relief,

2. File a complaint case before the local District Consumer Dispute Redressal Forum alleging deficiency in service and unfair business practice claiming immediate allotment of covered parking area as the agreement/assurance, damage and cost,

3. You can file and plead before Consumer Forum yourself.
