Remedy when two adjacent flats has been registered with same number


18-Jul-2023 (In Documentation Law)
I have purchased a new Flat registered on 09/12/2015. On the same floor, there was 4 Flats, 2 already sold out, bearing number 2A and 2D. As the Master Plan provided does not contain any Flat Number, I could not verify the correctness of the Flat Number. I had changed my residential address to the new one in all relevant documents like Voter Card, Aadhar Card, Banks, LPG etc. The 4th Flat on the same Building and Floor was sold out on Dec 2016 and it was sold with the same number i.e. 2C. Thus, now we have 2 Flats with number 2C on the same building and same Floor. It is clear that one of the two needs to be rectified. My question is which one needs to be rectified?  Is it that since the registration of my Flat was done prior to the other it will remain the same and the other needs to be rectified or it the Promoter/Developer who will decide, that which one needs to be rectified. What legal remedy do I have?

Since your flat got registered prior to registration of new , hence the demarcation which has been marked for you should prevail and the demarcation which the developer marked after transferring of the unit in your favour to be rectified from the end of the promoter. Communicate to the new purchaser as well the developer for have the same ratify and correct accordingly.

Firstly you should ask the person over writing, the information of your flat number, from whom have you purchased it? You should write a letter to him alongwith all your queries and send through speed post and wait for his response. If he replies well. If he does not file an Online General Diary for the harassment you have been put through and straight approach the Consumer Forum for ends of justice.
