MahaRERA dismisses complaint against Bhujbal co - Mumbai
The developer of Hexworld project is M/s Devisha Instrastructure Ltd, one of the family-owned companies linked to Chhagan Bhujbal, who was arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act last year. Bhujbal’s MLA son Pankaj, nephew and former MP Sameer Bhujbal, and relative Satyan Kesarkar, are directors of Devisha Infrastructure.
The promoters of Hexworld project have registered nine 39-storey towers and three 24-storey towers with MahaRERA as an ongoing real estate project. They revised its original December 2018 possession deadline to December 31, 2033. The project was attached by the ED in November 2015 as part of the action taken against Chhagan Bhujbal, who had launched Hexworld when he was home minister in the Congress-NCP government. The project was stalled after the plinth was built.
Buyer Amitkumar Ahuja had filed a complaint under Section 18 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, seeking a refund of his investment in a one-BHK flat, and a two-BHK flat booked in the name of his wife Swati in January 2010 and April 2011 respectively. In his complaint, he said the project had been stalled for five years, and hence he wanted the developer to return his money. The developer claimed MahaRERA had no jurisdiction to decide the complaint.
During the hearing on the point of maintainability of the complaint, adjudicating officer Bhalchandra Kapadnis, Member MahaRERA, observed that the date of competition promised by the developer at the time of booking the flat had not lapsed, and hence Section 18 provisions did not come into play.
