Tribunal Upholds Buyer's Claim Against Viana Homes
A lady bought a shop in a building in Hyderabad and paid a lot of money for it.
The company that built the building did not give her the papers that prove she owns it.
The company said the agreement was fake.
But the judge found that the company's boss had already said the agreement was real.
So the judge told the company to give the lady her ownership papers.
The judge also helped another person get money back from a different company.
That company had taken too much money and had to return it with extra interest.
The judge also said that person cannot work as a real estate agent without a license.
This is a story about fairness and following the rules when buying property.
The Telangana Real Estate Appellate Tribunal directed Viana Homes Pvt. Ltd to register a commercial unit in favor of buyer K. Vijaya Lakshmi at Poojitha Tech Park, Kokapet.
The tribunal upheld RERA's November 6, 2025 order concerning Unit No. 45, a 1,000 sq ft fourth-floor unit.
Vijaya Lakshmi signed a sale agreement in October 2022 for ₹73.92 lakh plus corpus fund and GST, and later paid a total of ₹1.029 crore.
The tribunal rejected Viana Homes' fabrication claim, noting its managing director had earlier admitted to the agreement and substantive terms were identical.
The tribunal upheld an order against Sikha Balaraju, managing director of Infy Projects, to refund ₹29,02,100 excess consideration with 10.75% annual interest and barred him from acting as an unregistered real estate agent.
