Building height is over 15 meter

Question

Building height is over 15 meter

10-Apr-2023 (In Property Law)

I bought registered flat on 3rd floor . June 2018. Building is made by Builder it has 20 Flats. 16 Flats are registered and 4 Flats made on TOP FLOOR are not registered. 14 electricity meter are already in the building before i bought the flat but when i applied for electricity connection , BSES Rajdhani said because the building height is over 15 meter so they need fire NOC. And its impossible to get fire NOC in this Builder's made Building. I asked Builder to demolish the top floor, so that others can get Electricity connection but Builder refused and said he made money with Illegal top floor, so he will not demolish. Do whatever you want to do. I have already raised concern in Griveance in SDMC , MCD to demolish the illegal top floor but no action. None of my tweets are reverted. 1 year has passed . Can you advise what action can i take.

If the total height of the building is more than 15/17.5 meters but the dwelling unit is within that height, you needn’t need a fire clearance see para4(1)(i) DERC Guidelines

Answer #2

please file an FIR before the local police station. additionally and more importantly you can file a complaint before the consumer court asking for compensation. just to show the Builder that you are serious about initiating legal proceedings please send the legal notice which is properly drafted .

Answer #5

u can file a writ in hc for directions to all concerned authorities to demolish the illegal floor and to direct the authorities to install electricity meters in the building thereafter. the writ is an immediate relief otherwise u can file suit for injunction against the authorities in district courts.
