MHADA lodges FIR against Unispace Heights' Director
Matunga police have lodged an FIR against Hemant Arya, Director, Unispace Heights Pvt Ltd, on charges of cheating and criminal breach of trust of IPC levelled by MHADA’s Mumbai Building Repairs and Reconstruction Board (MBR&RB). The charges were based on a complaint that the developer has violated the preconditions of NOC for redevelopment by not executing an agreement for two redeveloped flats in Annapurna Bhavan, a 12-storey cessed building in Matunga’s Mahilashram Road. MBR&RB is the nodal agency for redevelopment of cessed buildings under DCR 33 (7) and one of the preconditions for granting NOC to Unispace Heights in April 2010 was that the builder had to sign a registered agreement for Permanent Alternate Accommodation of the rehab flats. The complaint, lodged by MBR&RB Executive Engineer, F North Division BS Walekar, was filed after repeated complaints by 52-year-old Dr Dipti Patankar and her 81-year-0ld mother Vibhawari Naik, co-lessees of the building plot who were allocated flats 901 and 902, that the developer had violated the agreement terms.
