Once you give representation to bbmp you can file writ petition in HC
Due to the non-availability of the REVISED final approved plan, there is a dispute on the use of the common and open area AMONG the residents and the Association is either mute or supports the resident who doesn't follow the bye-law/rule despite sale and deed agreement stating clearly the rights and obligation of every flat owner. They use the open.set back area for playing cricket, football, and basketball which disturbs the nearby resident. Such activities were never promised by the Builder at any stage. The BBMP provided an approved plan through RTI which does not match with the ground reality.
First answer received in 10 minutes.
Lawyers are available now to answer your questions.
To your horror, if society is not cooperating than such recreation activities cannot be stopped. Only if common area is made for particular purpose and using by other members for other means than can obtain stay order from court.
OR open area cannot be used for playing activity if creating disturbance to resident. Call the police for creating nuisance.
Builder is bound to provide revised approval plan
2) you can issue legal notice to builder to provide revised approved plan
3) in alternative file RTI application to obtain revised approved plans
4)residents can indulge in physical activities in open common areas
1. Well the common area left vacant for letting in use as common facilities can be used as common area.
The usual disturbance arising out of play isof no consequence and hence can not be lawfully redressed.
Any kind of outdoor activities and playing is good for proper upbringing of the child.
You must encourage the same
If this is the scenario..... approach RERA Court of your jurisdiction ASAP for complaining and getting compensated for the wrong doing of the Builder.
Also, Registrar of societies can be approached to stop such nuisance in the society.
Hi
1) Once the builder has completed the building and has handed over the maintenance of the building to the association, it is the association responsibility to manage the usage of open areas and set backs provided in the building.
2) Open areas and set backs are for free movement of people and residents cannot construct any semi permanent buildings / structures in the open areas and set backs nor can do any act/ activities that obstruct free movement/passage.
3) If any resident has objection to usage of open areas and set backs as amenities/play ground purposes, then he should either complain to the flat owner association or file a civil suit claiming nuisance and abuse of open areas in the nearest court.
4) If there is a substantial difference between BBMP approved plan and the actual construction on ground then flat owners should check whether any
a) Occupancy certificate has been issued to individual flat owner and
b) If no occupancy certificate is available, flat owners should issue notice to builder and obtain occupancy certificate at builder's cost.
5) Occupancy certificate will list out the open spaces and set backs and also direct terms for usage of such open spaces and set backs by residents which can then partially resolve your grievance
Hope this information is useful.
Dear Sir,
This is a peculiar case where OC has been received on unapproved plan and hence the action lies against the builder. Regarding activities of Association, file the complaint before the registrar of the society.
Why don't you discuss all such things which causes concern, in a general or a special meeting of the association.
You can place a request to convene a meeting if a meeting is not due with the same items as agenda for the proposed meeting.
You can express your hardships and also request for clarification and solution for all such things which are detrimental to the members peaceful living.
If the common areas are misused by few members, then the association by a resolution can bring an end to such undesirable activities.
If the committee members do not entertain your request to convene a special meeting to discuss about the solutions to the problems faced by the members due to some miscreants misusing the common areas, then you can make a complaint to the local civic body about this venting out your grievances and then plan to escalate the matter through legal forum.
1. Since there is no clarity on whether the area where these activities are played there is very little that can be done.
2. The individuals who are aggrieved by the activities mentioned by you may file a suit for permanent injunction in the competent civil court to seek permanent injunction to stop those activities as this is tantamount to nuisance.
Dear Sir,
Many builders playing with the purchasers. You can lodge complaint and get the reliefs you wish to have.

Living in a housing society is akin to being in a committed relationship, except it gets murkier when things go awry as they sometimes do. We’ve all been in catch 22 situations where if a problem persists, we are damned if we try to solve it and damned if we don’t. After all, it is better to resolve a conflict or dispute peacefully in a way that is acceptable to both parties. If however, the society has been functioning to the detriment of its members, causing unbearable inconvenience, they have the power to right the wrong. Luckily, there are laws that guard you against real and present danger (and even inconvenience) posed to you by incompetent, ruthless or negligent committee members. This post covers the different problems that may arise for members in a housing society and various ways for redressal.
Complaints that can be raised in General Body Meeting:
How to submit a complaint to the Managing Committee?
The member should submit a written complaint explaining the dispute/complaint in full detail to any office-bearer of the society.
In the next committee (after the complaint is received), the Managing Committee reviews the complaint, takes a decision and communicates it to the member within 15 days.
If the members do not receive any communication from the Committee within 15 days, they can approach any competent authorities for redressal of their complaints. A copy of the original complaint letter should also be attached to the escalation complaint.
In cases that are not so cut and dried and require extensive study of legal loopholes and workarounds, members should think about hiring an experienced lawyer (preferably specialising in real estate laws) who can bear the load and present a winning case. As such, housing societies have their own legal advisor/consultant or lawyer who does a good enough job of defending it if trouble befalls. Members who want to present a solid case with all legal intricacies and technicalities covered in a complex situation, should be better off with legal counsel.
Below is a classification of complaints and the competent authority for members to approach.
Administrative and financial mismanagement complaints and disputes that fall under the purview of the Registrar:-
Disputes pertaining to repair, construction and amenities should be appealed to Co-operative Court/Municipal Corporation or Local Authority:-
If you are facing harassment from the committee members, including but not limited to rude/impolite behavior on a consistent basis, verbal or physical threats or assaults, you must immediately approach the local police station and file an FIR. After receiving a police NC (non-cognizable), you can approach the Civil Court for further redressal.
