Builder had no jurisdiction over common areas

Verghese Atwasia

As I saw your answers , Please advice on following matters

2 of the flat owners are occupied Parking space (covered by cement sheets). There is no Registered Sale agreement for this (with builder). They showed us a letter from Builder that the area is sold to the Flat owner for some rupees.

We already informed the VVMC  (Vasai Virar Municipal corporation ) to do a survey to find whether it illegal. Now he wants to become a member of Managing committee. For this he collected signature from flat owners by saying he is the most suitable person for Managing committee member.

How we can treat the case?

The Supreme Court in Nahalchand Laloochand P.Ltd. vs Panchali Co-Op.Hng.Sty.Ltd. on 31 August, 2010  has ruled that builder had no jurisdiction over common areas and stilts to sell any of them to flat buyers.

Common areas belong to CHS and agreement between buyer and builder about sale of parking is not binding on the CHS. The Committee/ Society in GENERAL MEETING can make parking Rules about parking as provided in the bye-laws. Municipality will not interfere.
