Fight against Injustice paid, HUDA bows down. HUDA to refund Rs 1870.69/- per sq yards with 15% interest.

It is a great news for those who were monitoring the progress of fight against enhancement in various HUDA Sector of Gurgaon.

In petition filed by the Progressive Citizen Welfare Association, Sector-52, Gurgaon against HUDA for the unexplained enhancement of Rs 8,200/- per sq yards, Hon'ble High Court has directed HUDA to resolve the issue pertaining the enhancement cost of sector-52, Gurgaon by constituting a committee.  HUDA as usual slept over it and the members of the petitioner association again moved to Hon'ble High Court and filed contempt against the Chief Administrator HUDA. HUDA took the court's directions lightly did not act at all, subsequently court penalized Chief Administrator with fine of Rs 50,000/- and directed to repond in 2 weeks or face the contempt. 

Fearing contempt HUDA passed frivolous orders and did not engaged the petitioners at all. However the representation by the association was taken. HUDA in early days of August 2014 had to pass the orders wherein they have reduced the amount of enhancement by Rs 1870.69/- to be refunded with interest of 15% from March 2012. 

Till now it is not clear whether HUDA will pass on the benefit to all the plots owners or only the petitioners will be benefited. Association hope and will fight that benefit is extended to all the owners.

Besides this the petitioners are not satisfied with the reduction and are confident that there is scope of further reduction. Petitioners will also demand action against those responsible for such grave mistakes in calculation.
