Ghaziabad: Over 2,400 flats under RERA rehabilitation clause yet to be completed
: In 2022, when nearly 270 buyers of
Jaypee Greens Kalypso Court
became the first in the country to take over the stuck project and see through its completion under UP-Rera's rehabilitation clause, nearly 2,400 flat owners, whose investment were stuck in six stalled projects in Ghaziabad had hoped for reprieve from the real estate regulator too.
But over the years, none of the 2,491 flats in
Antriksh Sanskriti
, La
Casa Ansal Aquapolis
,
Utopia Estate
, ASG Apple 7 and Spring View Heights along national highway 9 and Vasundhara Grand in Atal Chowk have been handed over. The projects were brought under the Rera Act in 2021.
Ashish Kumar, who is waiting for his flat in Antriksh Sanskriti for a decade, said, "None of the flats in our society has been delivered in all these years forcing us to pay home loan EMIs and rents."
The developer began construction of the project in 2015 and was to complete it by July 2022.
Under Section 8 of UP Rera Act, a project whose registrations is revoked—if a promoter has violated the terms and conditions of the registration or committed irregularities—can be brought under the rehabilitation clause, if the builder and at least 50% of the homebuyers approach the real estate regulator with a rehabilitation plan. Once it is brought in, the authority constitutes project advisory and monitoring committees to oversee the development work.
Though taking away a stuck project from the developer and handing it over to others for completion seems to be a quick fix but the success of the model has been tepid.
Real estate and legal experts told TOI that for the model to be successful, it is important for homebuyers to be united in the cause of completing the project. In case of Kalypso Court, homebuyers' association, the builder and UP-Rera were on the same page, they said.
"But in most of the six other stalled projects, there were differences between the two parties. In such cases, the Act alone cannot come to the rescue, which explains the delay," real estate lawyer Rajiv Ranjan Raj said.
An official from UP Rera said paucity of funds was also among the major impediments delaying the completion of the projects. "In many cases, developers, who take up projects under the Act, don't find it lucrative or economically viable as the cost of completing the construction cannot be recovered from the sale of unsold units. In some cases, homebuyers have not cleared their dues," the official said.
According to Rera data, 985 in Antriksh Sanskriti, 660 in Spring View Heights, 320 in Vasundhara Grand, 192 units in La Casa Ansal Aquapolis, 184 in Utopia Estate and 150 in Apple 7 are to be completed under Rera guidance.

Insurance claims not restricted to third party in motor accidents: SC
Tired of too many ads? Remove Ads The Supreme Court held that motor vehicle insurance policy holders can claim compensation and referred the issue of claims against injury or death to the policyholder themselves in a road accident to a larger bench, saying that such cases have contradict judgements in the SC, while hearing the compensation plea of a minor girl, who lost both her parents in a car accident while her father was driving, a bench of Justices Sudhanshu Dhulia and K Vinod Chandran said section 163A of the Motor Vehicles Act could be invoked for such a claim, adding that it is a special provision which overrides not only all the provisions of the Act but also any other law in force for the time minor was provided with the compensation by the insurance company for the death of her mother but not for her father as he was himself the insured bench said: "... a claim under section 163A, as per the words employed in the provision, according to us covers every claim and is not restricted to a third party claim; without any requirement of establishing the negligence, if death or permanent disability is caused by reason of the motor accident. This would also take in the liability with respect to the death of an owner or a driver who stepped into the shoes of the owner, if the claim is made under section 163A dehors the statutory liability under section 147 or the contractual liability as reduced to writing in an insurance policy".The insurance company, however, had held that the petitioner, having succeeded to the estate of the owner of the vehicle who died in the accident cannot at the same time be the person who has the liability and is the recipient of the compensation."It would override the provisions under sections 147 & 149 along with the other provisions of the Act and the law regulating insurance as also the terms of the policy confining the claim with respect to an owner-driver to a fixed sum. This according to us is the intention of incorporating the non-obstante clause under Section 163A providing for no-fault liability claims , the compensation for which is restricted to the structured formula under the IInd Schedule. It is a beneficial piece of legislation brought in, keeping in mind the enhanced chances of an accident, resulting from the prevalence of vehicles in the overcrowded roads of today. It was a social security scheme, brought about considering the need for a more comprehensive scheme of 'no-fault' liability for reasons of the ever-increasing instances of motor vehicle accidents and the difficulty in proving rash and negligent driving," the bench said.(With TOI inputs)
