No relief for Lodha group on sale of flats in Hyderabad's Bellezza project.

The bench questioned the builder and the authorities as to how builders were being per mitted to go ahead despite failing to provide basic facilities like parking.

The Hyderabad HC on Friday made it clear that it would call for a report from the GHMC on the ongoing tussle between Mumbai-based developer Lodha Constructions and the apartment owners of Lodha Bellezza at Kukatpally .

The bench of acting Chief Justice Ramesh Ranganathan and Justice M Ganga Rao, hearing a plea filed by Lodha Constructions, also refused to vacate a single judge's order restraining the builder from selling flats in Lodha Bellezza and Lodha Meridien and posted the matter to next week.

Earlier, following a plea by Bellezza Apartment Owners Association, a single judge stayed the proposed demolition of acompound wall built between Bellezza and Meridian and di rected the authorities to ensure that no sales are registered in respect of vacant flats. Aggrieved by this, the developer filed a plea urging the court to vacate the stay on sale of flats. But flat owners in the two schemes, particularly Lodha Bellezza, are accusing the builder of misleading them and GHMC.

The bench questioned the builder and the authorities as to how builders were being per mitted to go ahead despite failing to provide basic facilities like parking. Stating that there is no urgency to intervene, the bench declined to vacate the restraint order passed. “At a time we are struggling to reach out to those who are weak and cannot afford to wait for long, we cannot spare time, that too on an urgent basis, for those who can afford to wait,“ the bench said.
