JAMMU, Mar 15: By showing its presence, the J& K Real Estate Regulatory Authority has ruled in favour of apartment owners Ritu Khajuria and Sangeeta Sharma in their complaints against developer Omkar Nest Pvt. Ltd., the promoter of Royal Nest Sapphire Apartments located on Kunjwani Bye-pass Road.
The RERA order held that the builder handed over possession of flats without obtaining the mandatory Occupancy Certificate, which is mandatory as per verdicts of various courts including High Courts and Supreme Court of India.
The Authority directed the developer to obtain the Occupancy Certificate within six months at his own cost. Until then, the builder has been ordered to bear the maintenance charges of the complainants and any maintenance already collected must be adjusted in future dues.
The Authority also directed the developer to install Electric Vehicle charging infrastructure within six months in compliance with the J&K Unified Building Bye-Laws, 2021 and to resolve the seepage issue in the basement parking.
The ruling is being viewed as an important step in strengthening the rights of homebuyers and ensuring greater accountability in the real estate sector.
