Enhancement shocker for the residents and plot owners of Sector-51, Gurgaon

Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) lived upto its reputation and has passed an illogical order of stopping the refund of excess enhancement of Sector-51, Gurgaon. Earlier Chief Administrator HUDA passed a speaking order wherein the enhancement cost was reduced by Rs 4405/- per sq yards. Many residents have already claimed their refunds.

Sizable number of plot owners and flat owners of group housing societies were still waiting for the refund and they were shocked to know that their refund has been stopped by orders of superiors i.e CCF (Chief Controller of Finance), HUDA.

It is difficult to understand that how come CCF have realized now that refund was inappropriate, whereas the Chief Administrator filed Speaking Orders in Hon'ble High Court of Punjab & Haryana wherein the enhancement was reduced by Rs 4405/-. All this smells a rot as it is well known that HUDA is out of money and they are trying to delay the process of refund on trivial and non maintainable grounds. 

HUDA is not aware that these orders to stop refund will imply that Chief Administrator  HUDA filed a false report before Hon'ble High Court of Punjab & Haryana thus is bound to face the ire of the court.

It is also pertinent to note that the reduction of enhancement by Rs 4405/- per sq yards was made possible because case of Artemis Hospital v/s HUDA in which a committee was constituted comprising of HUDA officials, representative of Artemis and RWA Sector-51, Gurgaon. While the said committee was hopeful to get further relief  from Rs 4405/- this act of stopping the refund speaks lot about arrogant manner in which HUDA operates.

HUDA forgets that it charges service tax and is bound to provide services. It is no different from private developers, it's every act challengeable and accountable. HUDA Officials must not forget that we general public and have paid for everything we have.
