TANGEDGO has issued a demand notice for Rs. 84260/on the service connection for common areas of our Apartment for payment of dues for the period 2015 to 2021 towards electricity consmed on temporary connection takenn by the a builder to construct our 22 apartment complex. This amount includes penalty @ Rs 1.5 per month.The Association is regulrly paying for common area service connection which is still in the name of land owner and is trying for name change.
The builder is abscondiing. The land owner who lives in America was the joint venture holder and signed for the temporary connection. As a part of joint venture he was entitled 4flats for free construction and also got the cost of UDS values from 18 flat owners. He re-sold 3 flats and is holding 1 flat with separate S/C.
We gave an application to the authorities concerned requesting o collect the dues on the land owner flat's sevice connection as he had signed for the temporary connection. Our request has been turnned down and have been issued notice that the common area service will be dis connected if not paid before due date..
Can we aproach the court of law on the following grunds?
1. Why the temporary connection was not disconnected when the bill was not paid in 2015 and demand notice issuued to buider / land owner?
2. Why the demand notice issued after nearly 9 years that cost huge penalty charge and ask the Association to pay for it?
