The High court of Mumbai warned flat purchasers to verify all documentation and legal papers of real estate projects before putting money in them. They said this while disposing off the petition of the flat purchasers in the infamous ‘Green Heritage’ building in Kharghar. The petitioners wanted the High Court to regularize the illegal constructions. The High Court told the petitioners that the flat buyers should not blindly trust the brochures and catalogues of the builders but verify the legality with the various planning agencies like CIDCO etc.
The court said that the safety and greater good of the society cannot be put on stake for a few people.
The Green Heritage project is an example of just one case of blatant violations of building norms by the builder with active connivance of the CIDCO officials along with Police and other staff. The Green Heritage scam has been recently issued demolition orders of the top 3 floors.
The litigants have a choice of appealing the decision in the Supreme Court.
