If the parties entered into an agreement for purchasing a flat the builder was under a contractual obligation to complete the construction and hand over possession of the flat to the buyer. Therefore, he can take an action against the builder for delivery of possession of flat and compensation from the time of the possession was due under the agreement till the date possession was granted.

In this case you can issue him a legal notice for deficiency in service and file a consumer complaint asking for the relief of possession and O.C and also compensation for the loss and hardship caused to you, if you delay further then the problem of limitation arise as consumer complaint can be filed within two years of cause of action and in your case it has arison, so issue legal notice and file complaint.

Sir There is a deficiency of service. You can file the consumer case under the ground of delay in hand overing possession. Moreover there is breach of agreement from the builder. Here you can file a case against the builder seeking the compensation for delay in possession.
