IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR MEMBERS

No. DIN/Rana/2009 4th Dec 2009



Dear Member,

1. Please refer to Part V of Secretary’s Report forwarded along with Minutes of the SGBM held on 30 Aug 2009.

2. This is to inform you that the ‘Rana Case’ judgment was announced by Hon’ble High Court of Delhi on 03 Nov 2009, published on the High Court’s website on 17th Nov 2009 and a copy of the same received in this office on 03rd Dec 2009. A copy of the same is enclosed for your information. The MC has decided to file an SLP (Special Leave Petition) against the verdict in the Supreme Court. Accordingly, Mr Anil Nag, Advocate has been hired for the purpose.

3. The case had been decided against the Society in Arbitration and by a single judge of the Delhi High Court prior to the present verdict. A copy of the order of the High Court appointing an Arbitrator to adjudicate on the dispute is also enclosed for your information. It is pertinent to note that MC at that time failed to respond to request of appointment of Arbitrator by Contractor and also to file a response in the Court, as given in the judgment. In case the MC had acted at that time this case, which was time barred, may not have seen the light of the day.

4. As regards the completion certificate, S.S. & Associates, Architects & Engineers, hired by the Society for the purpose, has submitted ‘as built’ and ‘revised’ building plans to the DDA for approval on 28 Oct 2009. The salient features are:

a) Existing balconies of two bed rooms (except master bed room) and living room will be extended. A balcony of size 10’ x 9’ with the living room and a small balcony in corner bed room will be added. This will meet the requirement of FAR of 167.

b) With compounding charges, we are allowed to get additional 5% FAR. In this we propose to get another balcony of size 5.5’ x 6.5’ with master bedroom.
