[Resolved]  Lodha Casabella — Scraping the flat after registration.

Address:

Maharashtra

Dear friends,
I have booked my flat at CASABELLA D-602 on August 2009 and registered on Dec 2010 at DOMBIVALI registrar office. I have paid total 7 lacs from my pocket till now. Now for further payment they have to show some progress in construction. In between they have already extended the possession date upto December 2012.
The problem is that builder has scrapped the wing D and E of SERENA from their plan without intimating the flat owners. Now on calling, their response is that it will be indefinitely delayed. Some of my colleagues are sure that the builder has no land to construct these wings. On repeated calling they are giving some options to the customers to the already registered according to their wish in the under construction wings A, B and C. Please note they have approval still for A only not B and C wings. Builder is giving me option on either ground floor or topmost floor of course very poor options are forced. Now some people have chosen options panicking that if options are finished then they will be on loosing side means they have to accept the money returned by builder, which will be quite less than the inflated money of flat. But builder is not saying formally or even orally that these wings will not come in future. Infact on transfer options the reason of transfer is highlighted as hurriedness of customer not problem by builder. I have decided that i will not chose options in panic and in fact wait for their formal (written reply).
Now friends especially property lawyers, how should i approach this problem? as they have time up to December 2012. Should i wait for their formal reply? Or should i approach consumer forum for clarification on the issue of the flats. I am sure that builder will be not able to deliver flats at promised date and will ask for again the extension of the delivery date or take money back at 9% interest rate. Then what will we do ? If i go to consumer forum, will court force builder to return money spent in the registration and stamp duty.
There are hundreds o[censored]nfortunate customers like me? If some group is being formed for legal batting please contact me also or want to start then please response.

I want written clarification from the builder about the status of the flat. they know that Their oral statement does not carry any meaning so they keep on lying on many issues. Builder is very cunning and dos all tricks to postpone and confuse. I am bracing myself for legal battle in future but i am naïve in this field . I will be grateful if i can get the some guidance to solve this problem.
