Era Developers Ltd. (Era Infrastructure)
Unauthorised Construction of Extra Flats

Dear Sir,

I with many other people booked flats (flat no was also allotted) in a Project called Era Divine Court at Sector -76, Faridabad, Haryana. The project was launched by a company Era Landmarks Ltd. (Era Infrastructure Ltd.). The project was a pre-launch and layout plan/map was not approved but license was obtained by them. Map approval is still awaited after expiry of eights months. There was provision of 820 flats in the said plot. We bought flats keeping in view the area /layout shown in their brochure which has some green area/open area also. Their project was almost sold out. Now after so many days we have come know that they constructing 44 more flats in the green area/ open area, without increasing the total area of the plot, thus decreasing the open area (the same has been confirmed by the company). We are also told by the company that they are constructing one creche (child nursery) and a religious building at the other proposed green site.

We have bought flats keeping in view the green area/open area and as they are constructing flats in these areas, we feel cheated and violated. At the same time we feel that this would make society more congested as they are giving no area for recreational activity.

On inquiry they are saying they well within their rights to construct those flats as they do not have charged any PLC for green area/open area and these are only minor changes and as per agreement (which was signed between us in Sept. 2009), this can be done.

But we can not buy this argument, as construction of 44 flats are not a minor change and we feel cheated coz they first sold us flats showing green/open area and now they are constructing flats on them.

By selling new flats, which are supposed to come in the new area, new buyers money can be put at risk. They are cheating new buyers also and making false promises. Their website is also giving wrong information about this.

Please suggest what option are left with us. Can we go to consumer forum, and what else can be done as company is adamant on construction of flats on the green areas.

Thanks & Regards
