Dear Lawyers,
We own a 1 BHK house in Dahisar, Mumbai. Our building is 30 years old. The managment comittee has been in talks with only one builder for past 3-4 years. The builder is offering us the same size flats after re-development. The reason given is the old builder had done some manipulations and hence we will not get additional space/room.
Many of our members argued on this matter with both Builder and socoety managing comittee in various society meetings. Recently, the management comittee apointed a strcutural auditor. He has come out with findings claiming that the building is in C1 category under BMC act section 354B. He has suggested immediate demolition of building. We all are aware that this is a manipulated reports as we have seen many buildings in much worst conditions in Mumbai.
How to deal with this situation and ensure the builder does not take control of the plot. The builder does not have any great financial background and had not given his financial details in society meetings.
