Property (Flat / Apartment) Law X Law EXPerts X Promoter / Byers

Update
AT


<Venkaiah Naidu seeks early notification of simplified Delhi Building Bye-laws
Under the existing Building Bye-laws, sanctions for constructions are required to be issued within 60 days from the date of application. However, given the complexity of the procedures and rules, open ended interpretation and complexity of documentation, the stipulated timeline is seldom complied with. The proposed Unified Bye-laws seeks to address these issues so that sanctions are issued quickly.




 <Co-operative Housing Societies are not subject to RTI Act

 xtract

"Co-operative societies do not fall within the ambit of Right to Information Act, the Supreme Court has said while quashing a Kerala government circular to bring all such societies within the scope of the transparency law." ?????!!!!!





<> YES? Yes! By any thinking, rationale, or logic, the view handed down IS, from the viewpoint of the impacted vested interests, being the Society members, prima facie "a retrograde judgement"; especially so, in to-days context* in which their genuine bona fide grievances, and unsavoury experiences are faced, at the behest / in the hands of the by and large narrow minded and extremely short- witted, mostly self-elected / -selected office bearers from among them. One thinks, even with no RTI Act, the members , even as per the mandates of the governing law / standard bye-laws, have the inherent right to seek and secure all such information as vitally affect /pertain to their common affairs. For that matter, as held by the Madras HC, the person officiating as "secretary", let alone the rest of the managing body,  is a "public servant" in its ordinary and legal meaning, with all its attendant /inherent consequences, for or against. Sooner any such view gets reviewed and revised by the judiciary itself, and / or officially clarified by the government(s),  the better for housing societies in any part of the Nation.

Stark/Blunt Reaction: Moment of truth has come, for sparing time to usefully think, to try and bring about some sanity: 1. Root Cause: Persistently ongoing onslaught on the very object /objective of the law seems to defeat it from all sides, and demolish it at the grassroots! 2. A couple of horrid instances to illustrate: Lately reported madness in extending the law to Bollywood; and not long ago surfaced misuse of the law by goons in the field of 'realty'.* To top it all, the view the SC has recently handed down on the right of housing society to seek remedy by invoking the law.

Cooperative society laws - by mrs.k.Anupama

In a registered housing society a defaulter member is harassing the committee as the committee has filed 101 mcs act proceeding against him with the asst registrar for 8 years old dues. He is asking for few documents which are dated 2007 i.e 7 years old. As per the rule how long we can preserve the records of society and whether we can refuse to give that record saying the record is very old and is destroyed .The said member has applied for those documents under rti act to asst registrar. What is answer?

Maharashtra moves forward on housing regulation

< Maharashtra is all set to become the first to have a regulator for the housing sector. It has put up a draft of the Maharashtra Housing (Regulation and Development) Rules for public comment till October 10, after which its provisions are likely to come into force.
After much deliberation, the United Progressive Alliance government had introduced the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Bill in Rajya Sabha last year. The view of the current National Democratic Alliance government on it is not very clear. But it seems unlikely that it will see the light of day anytime soon.>

    If no clue / cue still, consider:


    Promoters of a corporate body, who intended to have a ‘company’ (requiring to be registered under the “Companies Act”), under an eminent  law expert’s advice, got it registered under say, the Partnership Act  OR Public Trusts Act. But, all the more perplexing,  soon after realizing, - on being laser-focused,  - the blatant folly,  first went to the registering authority, and thereafter, was obliged go to court (engaging same law expert, in Writ), seeking cancellation by the authority, of the ‘wrongly’ registered ‘partnership firm’ –(too many proverbial  “slips between the cup and the lip”; is it not ?!).

    To know why the (illustrative) story does not end there, recommended going through the cited two HC judgments. Do so, bearing in mind that there is a supposed-to-be-commonly- known legal concept, known as ‘non est’- in-law (i.e. ab initio void), as opposed to non- est factum  (Search  websites  for illumination).

    < Points (intriguing), in the order of relative seriouness, to sadly ponder: 

    A. The basic, but vital aspect of, maintainability  of  the 'writ' petition, it appears, has not been raised hence not gone into the by the Court.
    In one's perspective, having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case (s), albeit there is no specific mention,the prayer may have to be taken to be for issuance of  a  writ' in the form of 'mandamus'. If so, for enlightenment , the following will require to be advisedly studied and understood:

    INTERNATIONAL TAXATION - HIGH COURT’S DECISION IN THE MATTER OF VODAFONE - AN ANALYSIS


    B. The faulted registration under KSRA has been presumably effected as applied for. As such, it is not clear why the authority alone could be blamed for the entire debacle. If not, what is the rationale in approaching court for relief or for the court to entertain ?

    Would it not have been but a pleasantly short story,or could have been diligently and intelligently cut short, ending at the stage of registering authority himself, had the mentioned legal concept of every relevance herein been made a conscious note of, with no frills ; and forcefully urged as normally expected !?
      

    For a simplistic cue, imagine an affluent villager, but literally illiterate, even after realizing to have, - despite all those functional (but non- / mal- functioning )‘checks and balances’ in place,-  boarded a ‘wrong flight’; further refused, when told by the co-flier,  then air hostess, to get off ;  instead , insisted upon no less than a judicial order/writ  for him to obey.


    Having thus far taken too many wrong turns at cross roads, - 
    IS PIL WRIT PETITION A BETTER and PRUDENT  ROUTE TO TAKE  ????????....

    Further, as the whole matter entails numerous issues , is THIS not one of national importance ( in that- not only the States but both  the Union and the States have a role to play but not having done so, lead to the presently faced complexity verging on complicity),  hence worthwhile moving the Apex Court , sooner than later; or before it is too late by which time the gravity of the situation and resultant hardships to the 'consumers' would have reached the peak / nadir ('astron' / in Arabic - 'nazir-as -samt' being opposite the zenith) .

     Properties under Hindu Undivided Family (HUF)




    Quite a comprehensive write-up , fairly summing up almost all useful angles in relation to the legal concept of HUF and its property and other rights. Even so, in one's perspective, difficult questions are bound to arise/ be raised, for which no answer or solution  might be found available, in cases in which the property happens to be 'unit' of a building (Flat / Apartment), residential or commercial, which has increasingly come to be possessed or sold in a large scale.
    Without a suitable and well-thought out special central legislation and / or amendments of the extant laws (both of the Centre and the States),an answer or solution to all sorts of attendant problems are bound to remain in limbo, static- status quo.
