Tribune India: Chandigarh: Tuesday, May 30, 2017.
One month
after the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, came into effect,
a resident of Sector 51, SD Rattan, has filed a first complaint against the
Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB) with the interim chairman of the RERA KK Jindal.
Rattan
alleged in the complaint that the Board has suppressed full facts while
launching the housing scheme of 200 flats in sector 51 in April 2016 which
caused loss and harassment to him.
Rattan has demanded to issue direction for the CHB to pay compensation
and return Rs 69, 000 amount which the CHB deducted when he surrendered the
flat allotted to him under the scheme with interest. The CHB fixed Rs 69 lakh
price for the two bedroom flat under the scheme. Rattan said that he was
allotted the flat through the draw in the scheme. He said that soon after the
allotment he was shocked to know that the certain portion ( 4 kanal) of the
land was disputed and was in the possession of the saw mill owners . The court
also stayed the dispossession of the land.
The fact was also confirmed by the information which he got under the
RTI Act from the CHB. He said that on knowing the fact he had decided to
surrender the flat fearing the delay in the construction and requested to
return the initial amount Rs 6.90 lakh to the CHB. He said the CHB deducted 10
per cent of Rs 69,000 and returned the remaining amount. He said he would not have applied in the
scheme had the CHB informed the fact of the encroachment while launching the
scheme. Rattan demanded that the deducted amount of Rs 69,000 should be returned
with the interest.
