You should have filed complaint before consumer forum and sought compensation for delay in delivery of possession by 2 years

2) as on date you have already sold the property

3) your claim would not be entertained by consumer forum now

1. you are entitled for compensation, it does not matter that you have sold the property.

2. you should file a case before the consumer forum for payment of interest for delayed period, mental agony and cost along with expenses of the litigation.

If the builder delayed possession beyond the stipulated period, you may claim penalty or interest towards the period of delay.

But you should have taken possession before selling it.
