The Brave Pedestrian

Mumbai, 12 th February, 2017: Horizon Green, the prestigious new Borivali East project, has huge issues. No real drainage system – that's a  serious problem we have written articles about . But there's a more serious worry for flat-purchasers, namely, not getting proper title to the purchased flat at Horizon Green. The confusion on who's legally the builder of Horizon Green -- Raheja, Bhoomi or Prashasti -- is like three men claiming to have fathered one child. On the municipal corporation's records, K Raheja is the builder. But Prashasti Enterprise is claiming to prospective flat-purchasers that it is the builder. And in between Raheja and Prashasti, there's the ghost of Bhoomi Constructions, a partnership that has been dissolved.  On paper, Bhoomi Constructions got the development rights in 2003 from K Raheja for building Horizon Green, and in turn assigned these development rights to Prashasti Enterprise in 2008. But that's only on paper; in real life,...

Mumbai, 13th January, 2017: K Raheja Constructions got away with lots of violations in their Horizon Green project in Borivali East . They succeeded in procuring Drainage Completion Certificate (DCC) and Occupation Certificate (OC) in early 2015 without actually constructing drainage. T o hoodwink potential flat-buyers and early-bird occupants , the Rahejas tried to secretly dig a soak-pit in December 2015. T he plan was to cover up the lack of a sewage connection by channeling the sludge into a soak pit and pumping it out every month . But this plan backfired when residents of the neighbouring building alerted BMC , who slapped a stop-work notice . But the Rahejas defied the stop work orders, continued the work and complet ed the soak-pit. So MCGM lodged a police complaint and got an FIR registered against the Rahejas .

Mumbai, 24th December, 2016: Mumbai Police recently filed FIR against K Raheja's Palm Grove Beach Hotels Pvt Ltd . Reason? V iolation of Town Planning Act by unauthorized construction of a drainage line in November-December 2015. Many months e ar lier, Palm Grove misled MCGM into giving Drainage Completion Certificate and  Occupation Certificate (OC) for their new building Horizon Green without drainage. T o make up the lacuna, the developer belatedly built a drainage line going uphill. That's right, uphill! T he Deputy M unicipal Commissioner's remarked on 5th January, 2016, "Validity of issue of occupation certificate dated on 18.4.2015 is doubtful " .   I f any flat -owners take possession and come to stay in their flats, they are in for a rude shock . W hen they start having baths and flushing toilets in sufficient numbers , their sewage will o verfl ow . See l evel difference in two blue circles in this drainage plan Near the ...
