Dear Sir,
I bought a flat in 2011 Dec. I am the “second buyer” of my flat in Kerala.
The present administration is done by the flat owners association which was formed in 2008.
During the purchase time, we found that there was no vehicle parking facility mentioned in the document.
We insisted that without vehicle parking this deal wont go further.
Upon this, the Builder prepared an affidavit stating that he is the Managing Director of the company which developed the land and constructed a multi storied building in the aforesaid land as per the building permit and plan and the first owner has purchased undivided share land and entrusted the Builder to construct an apartment int the 19th floor with 2800 sq ft and a covered car parking as per the building permit and plan, and had handed over the same to my first purchaser and received all the amounts payable by the first purchaser for the aforesaid construction and no amount is due from him, in this account. This affidavit was handed over to my first purchaser, which in turn handed over to me. According to this we bought (registered) the flat.
The first owner along with the builder showed us the parking slot and we were enjoying the same for the past 8 years.
In Sep.2020,the Builder through his daughter, filed an injection suit stating that he has transferred the said car park to his daughter (allotted the said car park to her flat) in 2012 and we are illegally holding the car park , and had obtained an Injunction order from Hon: Magistrate court.
We challenged it, but the Hon. Magistrate court dismissed our petition with expense, again putting burden on to us. As a law abiding citizen I removed my car from the slot ( which was using since 2011 Dec.) now parked in open space.
We have filed an appeal in the Hon: District Court, which is about to adjourn in the coming week.
I want to know the following queries:
1.Is an unregistered notarized affidavit valuable?
2.How can a second owner claim a car park, which was transferred by the first owner, which was not mentioned in his prior document , despite Builder’s unregistered Affidavit?
3.Now I am parking my vehicle in open space now, which has caused irreparable damage to my investment and property. How can I claim this damage?
4. What legal measures to be taken against the seller/builder?
5. Am I legally entitled to get a car park?
I humbly request to give a solution to my above said grievance
