FIR against top brass of HDIL for failing to hand over Kurla flatsBy Mustafa shaikh & Chaitanya Marpakwar, Mumbai Mirror | Apr 7, 2014, 10.53 AM IST16comments0inShareShare MoreAAAfter
waiting for over three years to gain possession of their flats, home
buyers of a Kurla project have taken a top developer to task. On
Tuesday, an FIR was registered against senior executives of Housing
Development and Infrastructure Limited (HDIL), for failing to give
possession to people who bought flats in their Premier Residences
project at Kurla (W), allegedly after taking full payment from them.
The FIR was registered against HDIL on a complaint by Shabnam
Latliwala, one of the buyers, at Vinoba Bhave Nagar Police Station under
Sections 420 (cheating) of the IPC, and other relevant sections of the
Maharashtra Ownership of Flats Act, for failing to give possession of
her flat despite taking money from her. The company's top officials,
Rakesh Kumar Wadhwa, Sarang Wadhwa, Waryam Singh, Ashok Gupta and
Gurmeet Singh are named in the FIR. Latliwala, an advocate,
said, "In 2009 I paid the total amount of around Rs 55 lakh to HDIL for a
965 sq ft flat. They asked for an additional Rs 43, 000 as advance
maintenance, which I also paid. Despite that, the flat was not handed
over." According to her complaint, HDIL constructed 1, 000 flats
in the mega housing complex at LBS Marg. HDIL promised possession by
2010, but most buyers claim they have not been given possession. In
January this year, around 400 buyers protested the delay at HDIL's head
office in Bandra (E), and in February Laltiwala filed a written
complaint with the police after talks with the company failed. However,
as the police did not register an FIR then, some buyers filed a writ
petition in High Court. At the hearing last month, HC directed the authorities to take cognizance of the complaints.
"We met HDIL's top brass and sought possession of flats. But they asked
us to pay an additional sum saying that the area of the flats had
increased. I was asked to pay around Rs 7 lakh more in cash. I had taken
loan from a bank which already paid the final instalment. The
architects, BIDCO Engineering Division, had also issued a completion
certificate stating the building is ready, " the FIR reads. Latliwala
added that over 40 complaints have been filed against HDIL with the
police. "The dreams of a thousand home owners are at stake, as
HDIL is withholding possession while most buyers are paying EMI of bank
loans, " said A K Chowdhary, another buyer. Like him, most people bought
flats following newspaper advertisements in 2009, that said HDIL was
offering affordable flats for alimited period. The police have
said they will probe the matter and submit a report to High Court. "An
FIR has been registered. We will carry out an investigation and submit a
report to the court, " said Senior Inspector Subhash Raut of Vinoba
Bhave Nagar Police Station. HDIL, on their part, maintain they
have been handing over possession to buyers who made full payment. "The
process of handing over flats commenced as scheduled and we have already
handed over 289 flats to those who paid the entire agreement amount. We
have served interest letters to customers who defaulted on scheduled
payments. These demand letters for due payments are being raised as per
the agreements with home buyers. This is just mischievous and malicious
propaganda against the company. Since the matter is sub-judice, we do
not wish to respond to any allegations, " a statement from HDIL said.
