You may challenge the builder’s actions legally, as any deviation from the agreed terms requires your consent. First, review your development agreement or joint venture contract to determine your rightful share. If the builder has constructed additional floors without compensating you, you can issue a legal notice demanding your rightful share or compensation. Additionally, you may approach RERA or the civil court to seek redressal, including an injunction on unauthorized construction. If fraud is involved, you can also file a criminal complaint. Let me know if you need further assistance. But the practical approach gives better results

You need to hire expert advocate I’m such cases. If the collaboration agreement doesn’t have such conditions of 5th floor n basement, then this is breach of contract. We need to immediately issue the legal notice to builder followed By suit for injunction

File a civil suit for permanent injunction along with ad interim injunction against this builder to stop him from making any further construction and also for breach of contract in the civil court of your jurisdiction where property is situated

The resolution of this matter will largely depend on the terms outlined in your contract with the builder, as well as any agreements established with the other owners of the building. It's important to review the documents carefully. Specifically, does your sale deed provide any information regarding the floor-to-area ratio (FAR) of the plot? Understanding the FAR can significantly impact development possibilities and usage of the property, so it's worth examining if it’s addressed in your documentation.

Dear Client You must have entered into an Agreement, we would have to refer to the same to establish the rights and liabilities of the builder, in case the construction was not authorised/allowed, we would need to apply for an injunction against the builder. Please feel free to get in touch to discuss further.
