The Hyderabad district consumer disputes redressal commission-3 ordered a refund of the amount and compensation to 5 homebuyers.
A buyer, Vishwanadham Keshetti of Jeedimetla, filed a complaint for scamming that was against Boodati Laxminarayan, who is from Sahiti Infratec Ventures.

But, after endless enquiries regarding the property's progress, the company acted unresponsive and non-attendant towards him.

This company has also been ordered to pay a compensation of Rs. 50,000 and the cost of Rs. 5,000.
Another buyer, Chaluvadi Sridhar, got a refund of approximately Rs. 21 lakhs, and the other one, Yarlagadda Sravanthi, got a refund of Rs. 33.2 lakhs, and both of these buyers were awarded compensation of Rs. 50,000.
