Campa Cola Compound

The story so far

2011Residents denied relief in High Court

• Builders develop 7 buildings.• Violate sanctioned plans.• Defy stop work notices.• Construct beyond FSI limits.• Sell flats to purchasers.• Conceal facts. • Builders do not provide OC and

conveyance.

2005• BMC issues demolition notices

for all structures beyond sanctioned plans.

• Members obtain a stay order in City Civil Court.

2010The City Civil Court evicted the stay by way of an interim order.

2013Supreme court also denies relief.

Pre 2005From purchase till date residents have: • paid stamp duties and registration

charges on purchase agreements• Property taxes paid up to date• Obtained housing loans after

reputed banks investigated title

The Core Issue

Flats

Area in Percentage

Permissible FSI 17,355 212 100%

Total Constructed Area 19,129 236 110%

Beyond FSI Permissible Limit

1,774 22 10%

Demolition as per Supreme Court Order

7,916 102 46%

Area within permissible FSI limits but to be demolished

6,142 80 35%

• The excess area constructed is only 10% more than permissible FSI

• But the Supreme Court order calls for demolition of ALL FLOORS above sanctioned plans

• Therefore, >75% of the area to be demolished is actually within the permissible FSI

• Residents willing to self demolish excess FSI, but this plan was REJECTED by the BMC

Additional 36% area to be demolished as per Supreme Court, but which is within permissible FSI limit.

Only10% of area exceeds permissible FSI

The Maharashtra Regional Town Planning Act 1966 clearly allows one to retain unauthorised construction within permissible FSI limits. This application was denied by BMC.

Is this fair?

At Fault

BUILDERS

• Built beyond approved plans• Kept flat buyers in the dark• Did not provide Occupation

Certificate and Conveyance

BMC

• Ignored construction beyond approved plans

• Collected property (and other) taxes for over 20 years

• Collected regularisation charges of Rs. 6,56,800 in 1986

Being Punished

CAMPA COLA’S FAMILIES

• Kept in the dark by builders• Not allowed any remedies by BMC at

ANY STAGE in the process• Under threat by 2 builders who are

developing adjoining plots and want to exploit their plight by grabbing their land
