PUNE: The Hinjewadi
police booked a prominent city-based builder and his associates for cheating.
The associates had allegedly failed to provide possession of an apartment located at Mhalunge village near Balewadi, despite accepting the entire payment from the buyer.
Ashwin Dudharam Gondane (35) of Hadapsar lodged a police complaint on Saturday, following which the builder and his associates, who have offices on East Street in Camp, were booked under the provisions of Maharashtra Ownership Flat Act, 1963.
According to the complaint, Gondane booked an apartment in the scheme in January 2012. Gondane was impressed with the floor plan and amenities provided by the builder in the area that was near Hinjewadi IT park.
He booked the apartment of 650sqft carpet area in wing number five. When contacted, Gondane told TOI that while booking the flat, the builder had promised to give the possession within an year. However, at the time of registration, the builder mentioned a clause in the agreement that the possession would be given three years after registration.
However, the builder failed to provide possession within the deadline. Despite repeated requests and after accepting the full payment of Rs 38.96 lakh, the builder has not yet given handed the apartment over to Gondane.
Inspector Vishwajit Khule of the Hinjewadi police station told TOI that the builder had claimed that he would provide many amenities in the society but none of them were provided.
Gondane said that when the builder came to know that his customers were going to approach police, he sent an e-mail and told us that he would get the occupancy certificate by December 2016, and promised to hand over the flat immediately after. "We know that the builder is not going to get the occupancy certificate as the site does not have an access road. Moreover, the promised amenities have to be completed as yet," he said.
Gondane said that he is finding it very difficult as he has to pay the bank's interest as well as the rent of the flat that he is currently staying at. "Along with me, about 80 others are waiting for the possession of their flats," Gondane said.
