In an major development
pertaining to the Enhanced Cost levied by cash crunched Haryana Urban
Development Authority (HUDA) the residents, plot owners & Group Housing
Apartments owners in Sector-51 are bound to get relief on the lines of Sector-52,
Gurgaon.
Despite of the fact that
Residents Welfare Association & various Plot owners in their personal
capacities had approached HUDA against the atrocious escalation in plot cost by
them.
As usual intentionally or
due lack of caliber HUDA was not able to address the issue, hence the residents
were left with no option but to approach Hon'ble High Court of Punjab &
Haryana. High Court in almost all petitions directed HUDA to resolve the
representations of residents & plot owners of Sector-51. Thick skinned HUDA
didn't paid any heeds to High Court's direction and have faced and are still
facing various Contempt Cases.
Ray of hope didn't came
through High Court but came by the way activism of few residents of Sector-51
and Artemis Hospital (which is also being levied Enhancement). On 02nd February 2016, a delegation of Artemis
and Sector-51 met Sh P Raghavendra Rao, Additional Chief Secretary, Town &
Country Planning, Haryana and he after accessing the facts ordered " A committee headed
by CCF, HUDA and CTP, HUDA, Administrator, Gurgaon, Estate Officer, Gurgaon,
representative of hospital and a representative of Resident Welfare Association
of Sector-51, as the members would constituted by Chief Administrator, HUDA
immediately. The Committee would examine all the relevant issues and determine
whether the enhancement calculations have been correctly made and submit their
detailed report to Chief Administrator, HUDA who would take a final decision on
the same based on merits and equity. The
committee is directed to decide the issue within 3 months from the date of this
order and in the meantime no coercive action be taken qua the property involved
in this case. Disposed of
accordingly."
After much follow-ups a
meeting of said committee took place on 28th June 2016 but didn't seem
much keen to resolve the issue.
However, feeling the pain
of enhanced cost the members of RWA Sector-51 have been meeting top brass
again and again in Chandigarh. Things are seemingly appear to shaping up for a
huge relief as there are major flaws in the calculation by HUDA and it's
departments.
It is pertinent to note
that Sector-51, Gurgaon has been made to pay more than Rs 10,000/- per sq yards
were as plots were allotted at Rs 3400/- per sq yards. Meaning thereby the
Plots owners and residents have asked to pay more than thrice.
