In response to complaints by a customer Mr. SK Bangia, a senior executive of Delhi based Raheja Developers has been cited in a legal notice saying "ISKO THANDA KAR DO," (matlab?) The legal notices have been served through Mr. Navin Raheja, Managing Director of Raheja Developers, based in Saket, Delhi.
You may recall that a legal notice served by Mr. SK Bangia to Raheja Developers had been published on this and our sister-sites, e.g. http://rahejaatharva.qubrex.org After that the Developers forcibly cancelled the unit of Mr. Bangia, in response to which Mr. Bangia has sent another legal notice. In addition, another customer Mr. Girish Minocha has also filed a legal notice against Raheja Developers.
The main assertions of both the legal notices are:
- That the reasons adduced in the cancellation of the flat are wrong, concoted, and baseless. The cancellation letter was back-dated and sent after the time window of cancellation had been passed - with the ulterior motive of cancellation because the company would reclaim the flat at a lower price (approx Rs 2665 psf) and then sell it at the current Company rate of Rs 3050 psf at a later date.
- That the Developer claimed in a demand note for further payment that "The Building plan have been approved after license by the Director, Town and Country Planning, Haryana" when in fact NO such approval has been obtained by the Developer. In absence of approvals NO banks are disbursing loans for this project (except one Kerala-based "Federal Bank", which according to a buyer's email to Raheja Developers has less than 1% of market share of the home loans in the country. The Developer is also forcibly trying to get all its buyers to switch from their banks of choice and get loans for Raheja Atharva from this particular bank).
- It is the responsibility of the Company to provide a sanctioned plan to the banks of their choice, in absence of which the buyer is entitled to his/her money back with an additional interest at 18% pa. The buyer is also entitled to 18% interest in case of cancellation of the flat due to failure on part of the Developer, or on account of bad-faith actions of the Developer.
- That the Developer gave blank "Flat Buyers Agreements" for the buyers to sign and return to the Developer.
- That the Developer is adopting dilatory and mischievous tactics in extracting money from (buyer) with no sign of any progress in construction of the flat since last one year and there is no transparency in Company's working.
As there are no legal or regulatory bodies to oversee the Real Estate Developers, it is fitting that this and other such cases play out in the people's court of public discussion - which starts right here.
