This query is : Resolved
Hi, We have been staying in a building that is made in 1978, and we done some renovation work in our house around 20 years back, wherein we converted our kitchen in bedroom. Due to some personal reason, someone has filed a complaint in the bmc, and we have received a notice under section 53(1) to restore it to original state.. The society however has no objection to the alterations.
Wanted to know,
1) If we can regularize, the flat as it is by taking permission from BMC.
2) is there any way out of this notice, other than restore the flat to original condition...
Thanks

1. You can apply for regularisation of the structural changes made long ago from the authorities concerned.
2. Since you have been served with a legal notice, it becomes your duty to issue a reply notice, hence you may contact an advocate in the local and issue a reply notice suitably.
