Huge Relief for the HUDA Plots & CGHS Flat Owners in Sector-51, Gurgaon is on cards

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 02^nd 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 28^th 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.

Threat of Resumption and Forfeiture of HUDA Plots in Gurgaon looms over the plot owners who have outstanding dues, payable to HUDA.

It is no secret that Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA) is under severe cash crunch and that is why HUDA is exploring all options to extract it outstanding dues from the allottees.

In first move HUDA issued letter to the Plot Allottees to get the pending Conveyance deed executed so that allottees by doing so will clear their dues. This efforts did not reap good returns.

Now, HUDA has decided to go all out in its look out for money. This time it has started issuing notices to HUDA Plot owners who have outstanding amount due onto them towards HUDA. The said notices are for Resumption and Forfeiture of HUDA Plots u/s 17 (1) of HUDA Act which says "Where any transferee makes default in the payment of any consideration money, or any installment, on account of the sale of any land or building or both u/s 15, the Estate Officer by Notice in writing call upon the transferee to show cause within a period of thirty days, why a penalty, which shall not exceed Ten per cent of the amount due from the transferee , be not imposed  upon him."

This notice is major cause of concerns for those living in or having plots in Sector-27, Sector-28, Sector-42, Sector-43, Sector-51, Sector-52 & Sector-57 as these sector HUDA has imposed hefty Enhancement Cost after allotment on the pretext of payment to farmers. Huge number of owners living in these sectors are failing to pay the atrocious enhancement cost.

It is a definitely a cause of worry as Notice u/s 17(1) of HUDA Act is just initiation of process for Resumption and Forfeiture of plots.
